Establishment and Identification of Mouse Model of Philadelphia Chromosome Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia / 中国实验血液学杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To establish a mouse model of Phacute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) for providing a valuable tool to facilitate the researches on PhALL.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>CML-like mice were generated by transfection to bone marrow cells of BABL/c with Mig190 retrovirus. The PhALL mouse model was established by infusion of sorted CML like mouse-derived BCR-ABLB cells into the mice of same linege. Immonophenotypes, BCR-ABL transcription and expression of these leukemic cells were detected by flow cytometry, RT-PCR and Western blot respectively.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>CML-like presentation appeared in the mice after Mig190 virus transfection. After infusion with sorted BCR-ABLB cells, all the receipted mice eventually presented the clinical signs of acute leukemia. Flow cytometry analysis showed that these leukemic cells were positive for CD19; both RT-PCR and Western blot indicated that this mouse model is consistent with PhALL phenotypecally and molecalarlly.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>A novel method to establish PhALL mouse model has been developed successfully, and this model can provide useful tool for the study of PhALL.</p>
