Activation of the interleukin-3 gene by chromosome translocation in acute lymphocytic leukemia with eosinophilia [see comments]
1990-07-15
Abstract excerpt
The t(5;14)(q31;q32) translocation from B-lineage acute lymphocytic leukemia with eosinophilia has been cloned from two leukemia samples. In both cases, this translocation joined the IgH gene and the interleukin-3 (IL-3) gene. In one patient, excess IL-3 mRNA was produced by the leukemic cells. In the second patient, serum IL-3 levels were measured and shown to correlate with disease activity. There was no evidenc...
