Abstract

To detect bcr/abl fusion gene at DNA level in K562 cell line and mononuclear cells from patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). Based on previous research, a set of DNA-PCR primers was redesigned. DNA from K562 cells and mononuclear cells of CML patients was extracted respectively. After DNA-PCR for bcr/abl fusion gene the amplified fragments were then sequenced. At DNA level the bcr/abl fusion gene in K562 cells and mononuclear cells of 2 CML patients was amplified. Furthermore, the DNA breakpoint of fusion gene in the above samples through sequencing of amplified fragments was localized. DNA-PCR offers a new detection technology for bcr/abl fusion without the expression of fusion gene.
