Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: It has been demonstrated that KRAS mutations represent about 90% of cancer-associated mutations, and that KRAS mutations play an essential role in neoplastic transformation. Cancer-associated RAS mutations occur frequently in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), suggesting a functional role for Ras in leukemogenesis. METHODS: We successfully established a mouse model of human leukemia by transplanting...
