TOWARDS A B-LYMPHOID MODEL OF E2A-PBX1-MEDIATED LEUKEMOGENESIS: EVALUATING THE IMPACT OF HEMATOPOIETIC CELL OF ORIGIN ON THE TRANSFORMATION PROPERTIES OF A LEUKEMOGENIC TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR

The t(1;19) chromosomal translocation is present in 5% of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cases and leads to expression of the oncogenic transcription factor, E2A-PBX1. Although t(1;19) is exclusively associated with pre-B ALL in clinical cases, murine models produce myeloid or T-lymphoid leukemi...
