Abstract excerpt
The Notch1 receptor plays a critical role in cell fate decisions during development. Activation of Notch signaling has been implicated in several types of cancer, particularly T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Consequently, several transgenic mouse strains have been made to study the role of Notch1 in T-ALL. However, the existing Notch1 transgenic lines mimic a translocation event found in only ∼1% of...
