Tyrphostin-induced inhibition of p210bcr-abl tyrosine kinase activity induces K562 to differentiate.

We report on the potency of two Tyrphostin tyrosine kinase blockers, AG 1112 and AG 568, to inhibit p210bcr-abl tyrosine kinase activity in K562 cells, concomitant with the induction of erythroid differentiation. AG 568 and especially AG 1112 represent a specific group of nontoxic protein tyrosine kinase blockers among more than 1,400 tested. These compounds possess therapeutic potential for purging Philadelphia chromosome-positive cells in preparation for autologous bone marrow transplantation in chronic myelogenous leukemia.

Leakiness of pleiotropic maltose-negative, bacteriophage lambda-resistant mutants of Escherichi coli K-12.

Cultures of Escherichia coli K-12 malA(-)lambda(r)gal(-) can be transduced to gal(+) by bacteriophage lambdadg because of leakiness of the lambda(r) phenotype. The efficiency of such transduction is about 10(-5) that of transduction of mal(+)lambda(s) bacteria. Leaky cells (lambda(s)phenocopies) adsorb only very few phage particles, and many transductants, therefore, are defective heterogenotes or show integration of the gal(+) gene, which is unaccompanied by lysogenization.
