| pubmed-article:16219545 | pubmed:abstractText | BCR/ABL fusion tyrosine kinase is responsible for the initiation and maintenance of the Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and a cohort of acute lymphocytic leukemias. We show that a signaling protein, phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI-3k), is essential for growth of CML cells, but not of normal hematopoietic cells, and that p85alpha subunit of PI-3k co-immunoprecipitates with BCR/ABL. Therefore, we made an attempt to better characterize p85alpha-BCR/ABL interactions. | lld:pubmed |
