Abstract

Here we report the case of a 7‐month‐old boy who presented with biphenotypic acute leukemia, but with leukemia cells of B‐cell phenotype present at the time of relapse. Two cell lines were derived from bone marrow specimens obtained at relapse, and immunophenotyping and analysis of antigen receptor gene configuration revealed concordance between the patient's leukemic cells and the cell lines. Cell line PER‐377 shows a new chromosomal abnormality, t(2;13)(p12;q34), a molecular rearrangement at chromosome band 11q23 in the absence of a cytogenetically detectable abnormality of this band, and deletion of the genes for IGK.

ETV6 (TEL) is rearranged in various types of hematologic malignancies. The B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cell line SUP-B2 has a t(6;12)(q23;p13) involving ETV6 at 12p13 and a submicroscopic deletion of the other ETV6 allele. The reciprocal translocation results in the fusion of

Cell killing by monofunctional methylating agents is due mainly to the formation of adducts at the O 6 position of guanine. These methyl adducts are removed from DNA by the O 6 -alkylguanine DNA alkyltransferase (OGAT). The mechanism by which O 6 -methylguanine (O 6 meG) induces cell death in OGAT-d
