Role of light chain variable region in myeloma with light chain deposition disease: evidence from an experimental model.

abstract：:We report an RNA targeting strategy, which selectively degrades bcr/abl mRNA in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) cells. A 2', 5'-tetraadenylate activator (2-5A) of RNase L was chemically linked to oligonucleotide antisense directed against either the fusion site or against the translation start sequence in bcr/abl m...
