Mast cell disease (MCD), a proliferation of mast cells (MC), is occasionally associated with hematologic malignancies. Neoplastic MC have activating c-kit mutations. c-kit is a receptor tyrosine kinase required for the development, proliferation, and survival of MC. Interaction of c-kit with its lig
Most adults with systemic mastocytosis (SM) carry an activating mutation in the codon 816 of c-kit. We investigated the activity of the new tyrosine kinase inhibitor AMN107 on c-kit mutated mast cell lines and bone marrow samples from patients with SM and compared it to that of imatinib mesylate, a
