Assessment of downstream effectors of BCR/ABL protein tyrosine kinase using combined proteomic approaches

Leukaemic transformation is frequently associated with the aberrant activity of a protein tyrosine kinase (PTK). As such it is of clinical relevance to be able to map the effects of these leukaemogenic PTKs on haemopoietic cells at the level of phosphorylation modulation. In this paradigm study we have employed a range of proteomic approaches to analyse the effects of one such PTK, BCR/ABL. We have employed phosphoproteome enrichment techniques...
