Characterization of Rare, Dormant, and Therapy-Resistant Cells in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
1 Dec 2016
Abstract excerpt
Tumor relapse is associated with dismal prognosis, but responsible biological principles remain incompletely understood. To isolate and characterize relapse-inducing cells, we used genetic engineering and proliferation-sensitive dyes in patient-derived xenografts of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We identified a rare subpopulation that resembled relapse-inducing cells with combined properties of long-term...
