Abstract excerpt
The mechanism leading to the expanding population of maturing myeloid cells which characterises chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) remains obscure. Because of its ability to mimic the proliferative and cell survival functions of hematopoietic growth factors, we hypothesized that the oncogene activated in CML, BCR-ABL, might also influence differentiation. To test this hypothesis, we examined the effects of expressing...
