Concept explainers
To determine: The ways by which the potential to differentiate leukemic cells from healthy cells provides an opportunity to develop a therapy for CML treatment.
Introduction: In the case of CML (chronic myelogenous leukemia), leukemic cells can be distinguished from healthy body cells. This difference occurs due to the presence of functional BCR-ABL hybrid protein.

Explanation of Solution
One of the approaches that can be utilized to fight CML includes the use of tyrosine kinase inhibitor. This inhibitor binds to the ATP binding site of ABL kinase by inhibiting BCR-ABL phosphorylation and preventing the activation signaling pathways.
Moreover, real-time Q-RT-PCR (quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction) allows an individual to monitor drug responses of cell populations in the patient. This approach is used to develop less toxic and effective treatments.
The potential to differentiate leukemic cells from normal cells allows an individual not to target therapy to specific cell populations but also to quantify responses to therapy. The leukemic cells produce an unusual hybrid protein known as BCR-ABL. Therefore, it may be possible to develop a therapy such as immunotherapy, based on the uniqueness of BCR-ABL protein.
Thus, the uniqueness of BCR-ABL protein may be used to develop immunotherapy for CML treatment.

- We will be starting a group project next week where you and your group will research and ultimately present on a current research article related to the biology of a pathogen that infects humans. The article could be about the pathogen itself, the disease process related to the pathogen, the immune response to the pathogen, vaccines or treatments that affect the pathogen, or other biology-related study about the pathogen. I recommend that you choose a pathogen that is currently interesting to researchers, so that you will be able to find plenty of articles about it. Avoid choosing a historical disease that no longer circulates. List 3 possible pathogens or diseases that you might want to do for your group project.arrow_forwardnot use ai pleasearrow_forwardDNK dagi nukleotidlar va undan sintezlangan oqsildagi peptid boglar farqi 901 taga teng bo'lib undagi A jami H boglardan 6,5 marta kam bo'lsa DNK dagi jami H bog‘lar sonini topingarrow_forward
- One of the ways for a cell to generate ATP is through the oxidative phosphorylation. In oxidative phosphorylation 3 ATP are produced from every one NADH molecule. In respiration, every glucose molecule produces 10 NADH molecules. If a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?arrow_forwardIf a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?arrow_forwardHow do i know which way the arrows go?arrow_forward
