ABSTRACT:
The cDNA sequence of the ALL-1 gene on chromosome 11 is provided. A partial sequence of the AF-4 gene is also provided in the context of the sequences of two reciprocal endproducts of a translocation. Amino acid sequences corresponding to the cDNA sequences of the entire ALL-1 gene and the partial sequence of the AF-4 gene, and sequences relating to chimeric genes formed by chromosome translocations with chromosome 4, 9 and 19, respectively, are provided. Probes are provided for detecting chromosome abnormalities involving the ALL-1 gene on chromosome 11, including probes for detecting chimeric genes generated by translocations. Monoclonal antibodies for diagnosis and treatment and antisense oligonucleotides for treatment of acute leukemias are also described.
