Abstract excerpt
Although imatinib has therapeutic activity for certain subsets of patients with mastocytosis, it is not always curative. Here, molecular mechanisms that confer imatinib resistance to neoplastic mast cells were investigated using an imatinib-sensitive canine neoplastic mast cell line VI-MC carrying a KIT c.1523A>T activating mutation. Two imatinib-resistant sublines were established by culturing VI-MC cells in...
