Abstract

DNA transfection analyses (tumorigenicity assay) and hybridization to mutation specific oligonucleotide probes established point mutations in codon 61 of both, N-ras and Ki-ras genes in fresh leukemic cells of an AML patient. Concurrent activation of N-ras and Ki-ras sequences by point mutations in codons 12 were demonstrated for AML cell line Rc2a. Moreover, using a rapid and sensitive dot-blot screening procedure based on the combination of in vitro amplification of ras specific sequences and oligonucleotide hybridization we could show that ras gene activation was not present in primary leukemic cells of the patient this cell line had been derived from, but rather occurred during later passages of Rc2a.
