A Novel ELISA-Based Peptide Biosensor Assay for Screening ABL1 Activity in vitro: A Challenge for Precision Therapy in BCR-ABL1 and BCR-ABL1 Like Leukemias

The pathogenic role of the overactivated ABL1 tyrosine kinase (TK) pathway is well recognized in some forms of BCR-ABL1 like acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL); TK inhibitors represent a useful therapeutic choice in these patients who respond poorly to conventional chemotherapy. Here we report a nov...

Phosphorylation was ABL1-mediated, as demonstrated by the specific inhibition of imatinib (p < 0.001 for K562, NALM6, ALL-SIL and p < 0.01 for REH) in contrast to ruxolitinib (JAK2-inhibitor), and occurred on the ABL1 Y-site, as demonstrated by PABL-F whose phosphorylation was comparable to basal levels.
