abstractText | BACKGROUND: Nucleophosmin-anaplastic lymphoma kinase expression is associated with a lymphoid malignancy, anaplastic large cell lymphoma, and is characterized by a t(2;5) chromosomal translocation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We describe a novel transgenic mouse line in which NPM-ALK expression is targeted to the T-cell lineage using the CD2 promoter. RESULTS: Surprisingly, the mice develop B cell lymphomas in the majority of cases. CONCLUSION: These data stress the importance of choice of promoter to drive transgene expression in obtaining the desired phenotype. |
