Title:
KIT exon 8 mutations associated with core-binding factor (CBF)–acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cause hyperactivation of the receptor in response to stem cell factor
Excerpt:
Maximal stimulation of KIT-WT and exon 8 mutants in terms of proliferation could be fully reverted by the KIT inhibitor imatinib (Table 2) in contrast to the D816V mutant, which was resistant as described previously.
