Abstract excerpt
Although in vitro studies pointed to the tumor necrosis factor family member APRIL (a proliferation-inducing ligand) in mediating survival of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells, clear evidence for a role in leukemogenesis and progression in CLL is lacking. APRIL significantly prolonged in vitro survival of CD5(+)B220(dull) leukemic cells derived from the murine Eμ-TCL1-Tg (TCL1-Tg [transgenic]) model for...
