Description
The TEL-JAK2 fusion oncogene and the ICN1 activated allele of NOTCH1 are the result of specific chromosomal translocations in T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Mouse models of these diseases (TEL-JAK2 transgenic mice; Carron C. et al. Blood (2000); a bone marrow transplantation model for ICN1-induced T-ALL) were used to compare the transcriptional program specific to each oncoprotein in mouse models of these leukemias. Tumor load was >50% leukemic cells in all selected organs.
