Induction of Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in Mice by the P210 <sup> <i>bcr/abl</i> </sup> Gene of the Philadelphia Chromosome
16 Feb 1990
Abstract excerpt
In tumor cells from virtually all patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia, the Philadelphia chromosome, a fusion of chromosomes 9 and 22, directs the synthesis of the P210bcr/abl protein. The protein-tyrosine kinase activity and hybrid structure of P210bcr/abl are similar to the oncogene product of the Abelson murine leukemia virus, P160gag/v-abl, which induces acute lymphomas. To determine whether P210bcr/abl...
