BCR-ABL, ABL-BCR, BCR, and ABL genes are all expressed in individual granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming unit colonies derived from blood of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia

Abstract excerpt

It has been suggested that the BCR-ABL gene of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is not uniformly expressed in Philadelphia (Ph)-positive cells, and that BCR-ABL gene expression precludes transcription of the normal BCR or ABL genes. Therefore, we have analyzed granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming unit (CFU-GM) colonies derived from peripheral blood of 11 CML patients by cytogenetic and by reverse...
