摘要: Summary The cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors known as p15, p16 and p18 have been suggested candidates for tumour suppressor genes. We examined these genes their alterations in 46 myeloid leukaemias 15 leukaemia cell lines, mRNA expression was studied 41 leukaemias. p15 were either deleted or mutated lines at a high frequency [6/15 (40%) p15; 8/15 (53%) p16] but primary are much less frequent [2/46 (4%) 3/46 (6%) p16]. Alterations of not found any the samples. 13 samples had negligible levels mRNA. In summary, deletions identified probably occurred during vitro immortalization. pl6 pl5 gene only acute that mixed myeloid/ lymphoid lineage (CD19/CD20-positive [AML], CD2/CD19-positive AML, blastic crisis chronic leukaemia). Further studies required to determine if absence results from inactivation gene.
