To validate that the mutants recovered played a causal role in BMS-354825 resistance, we generated individual BCR-ABL retroviral constructs containing the point mutation of interest, introduced these into Ba/F3 cells, and measured the IC50 for growth in BMS-354825...Of note, these three mutants were the most frequently recovered in our screen. L248R, E255K, F317L, and the previously uncharacterized mutant V299L show modest changes in IC50, increasing ≈10- to 15-fold from WT BCR-ABL….IC50 for growth of Ba/F3 stable lines grown in the presence of BMS-354825 and imatinib.
