“…BaF3 cells expressing the random mutagenesis of BCR-ABL were kindly provided by Dr James D Griffin (Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, MA, USA) (Ray et al, 2007). BaF3 cells expressing WT BCR-ABL and mutant forms of BCR-ABL (M244V, G250E, Q252H, Y253F, T315A, T315I, F317L, F317V, M351T and H396P) were described previously (Deguchi et al, 2008). These cell lines were cultured in RPMI1640 (Life Technology, Inc., Carlsbad, CA, USA) supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (Hyclone Laboratories, Logan, UT, USA).…”
