Recognition of BCR-ABL positive leukemic blasts by human CD4+ T cells elicited by primary in vitro immunization with a BCR-ABL breakpoint peptide
1 Nov 1996
Abstract excerpt
In chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) the classical 9;22 translocation results in a BCR-ABL fusion gene, which encodes chimeric BCR-ABL fusion 210 kD oncoproteins (p210BCR-ABL). The two main p210BCR-ABL fusion variants in CML, b2a2 and b3a2 are examples of well characterized antigens expressed by malignant cells. The possibility of an immunotherapeutic approach involving the fusion part of p210BCR-ABL in CML has...
