Background The reciprocal (9;22) translocation fuses the bcr (breakpoint cluster region) gene on chromosome 22 to the abl (Abelson-leukemia-virus) gene on chromosome 9.

Fusion gene bcr-abl: From etiopathogenesis to the management of chronic myeloid leukemia
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm. CML is relative frequent disorder. Most of CML patients have Philadelphia chromosome (Ph),which is derived from a reciprocal translocation between chromosome 9 and 22, t(9;22)(q34;ql1 ...

Structure and Dynamics of the ABL1 Tyrosine Kinase and Its Important Role in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. [PDF]
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) targeting the ABL1 tyrosine kinase are playing a critical role in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) through the inhibition of persistently activated signaling pathways mediated by the BCR‐ABL1 fusion protein.

Interplay between kinase domain autophosphorylation and F-actin binding domain in regulating imatinib sensitivity and nuclear import of BCR-ABL. [PDF]
The constitutively activated BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is localized exclusively to the cytoplasm despite the three nuclear localization signals (NLS) in the ABL portion of this fusion protein.

Peptides spanning the junctional region of both the abl/bcr and the bcr/abl fusion proteins bind common HLA class I molecules [PDF]
The Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome, resulting from the t(9;22) translocation, is characteristic of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). As a result of this translocation, two novel chimeric genes are generated and the bcr/abl and abl/bcr fusion proteins expressed.

The Functional Interplay Between the t(9;22)-Associated Fusion Proteins BCR/ABL and ABL/BCR in Philadelphia Chromosome Positive Acute Lymphatic Leukemia [PDF]
Abstract The successful targeting of BCR/ABL by selective ABL-kinase inhibitors (AKI) such as Imatinib, Nilotinib, or Dasatinib alone is unable to eradicate the leukemic clone in Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+ ) leukemia. The t(9;22)(q34;q11) is a balanced translocation.

Leukemia-associated fusion proteins, dek-can and bcr-abl, represent immunogenic HLA-DR-restricted epitopes recognized by fusion peptide-specific CD4+ T lymphocytes [PDF]
Although CD4(+) helper T lymphocytes have been demonstrated to play an important role in antitumor immune response, only a few epitopes of tumor-associated antigens recognized by HLA class II-restricted CD4(+) T lymphocytes have been identified.

Abstract Imatinib currently represents the standard treatment in the early chronic phase of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), thanks to the high percentage of cytogenetic complete remission achieved, but it is yet unclear to what extent it can eradicate leukemia.

Different In Vitro Models of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Show Different Characteristics: Biological Replicates Are Not Biologically Equivalent. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) is characterized by the BCR::ABL1 fusion gene, driving uncontrolled myeloid cell proliferation. Furthermore, metabolic dysregulation contributes to disease progression. Despite the efficacy of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), unresolved clinical needs persist, necessitating refined preclinical models.
