DNA-Dependent Protein Kinase Activity Correlates With Clinical and In Vitro Sensitivity of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Lymphocytes to Nitrogen Mustards
1 Oct 1998
Abstract excerpt
The objective of this study is to investigate the role of DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) in the chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) lymphocyte response to nitrogen mustard therapy. DNA-PK is a nuclear serine/threonine kinase that functions in DNA double-strand break repair and in the joining process in recombination mechanisms. In a series of 34 patients with B-CLL, either untreated (n = 16) or resistant to...
