Diagnosis of CML can be done using a Southern blot to detect the junction fragment. In the early stages of CML most patients are heterozygous for the genome rearrangement, while at later stages homozygosity is observed. Using a probe that detects both the junction fragment and the normal cABL gene, […]

Asbestos exposure increases the risk of lung cancer. It is known that asbestos causes a chronic inflammation response in the lungs. Neutrophils are attracted to the site of inflammation, but cannot break down the asbestos. Neutrophils normally release reactive oxygen species (ROS) at the site of inflammation (to help kill […]
