Molecular abnormalities in leukemia: the 11q23 story so far.

Various hematopoietic malignant disorders have been shown to bear chromosome abnormalities of the 11q23 band, which can be rearranged with many different chromosomal regions in a wide variety of different leukemia subtypes. Several laboratories have identified a trithorax-related gene that is involved in most of the 11q23 abnormalities. Although some patterns and associations between the partner genes are beginning to emerge, it is not yet possible to frame a single unifying hypothesis for 11q23 leukaemic transformation. The aim of this review is to summarise the recent data concerning these 11q23 rearrangements and the understanding of their consequences.

Rapid and sensitive detection of recombinant soluble proteins in the supernatant of transfected mammalian cells.

Cloning and expression of recombinant soluble proteins could be quite a difficult task, especially when it comes to reliably detect minute amounts of the soluble protein in the supernatant of transfected mammalian cells. Timing and sensitivity are of the essence in order to optimise the benefits/costs balance and to decide which clones to grow further and which ones to discard. Here we propose a modified inhibition assay. The key feature of this approach is the development of a sensitive and quantitative test to detect the presence of the recombinant soluble protein by exploiting its ability to compete with the binding of a specific monoclonal antibody to a target cell. The described procedure is a sensitive, efficient, dependable and low cost method.
