The MDM2 oncogene overexpression in chronic lymphocytic leukemia and low-grade lymphoma of B-cell origin
1 Nov 1994
Abstract excerpt
The expression of the murine double minute-2 (MDM2) gene, the product of which binds to and inactivates p53, was studied in 60 patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL). Northern blot analysis showed that the level of MDM2 gene expression was low in normal human B-cells, whereas 17 of the patients (28.3%) with B-CLL or NHL had more than 10-fold higher levels of...
