Description
In our efforts to evaluate the function of the IL-8 receptor CXCR2 in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) cells, we made use of SB225002 (N-(2-hydroxy-4-nitrophenyl)-N-(2-bromophenyl)urea), a drug initially described as a CXCR2 antagonist. Although the CXCR2 receptor was found to be non-functional in ALL, B- and T-ALL cell lines were sensitive to SB225002.
