High Immunoproteasome Activity and sXBP1 in Pediatric Precursor B-ALL Predicts Sensitivity towards Proteasome Inhibitors

Proteasome inhibitors (PIs) are approved backbone treatments in multiple myeloma. More recently, inhibition of proteasome activity with the PI bortezomib has been clinically evaluated as a novel treatment strategy in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, we lack a marker that could...
