The study aimed to create a BALB/c nude mouse model to investigate human chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) for research purposes.
Mice underwent specific treatments before being injected with bone marrow cells from CML patients, and various health indicators (like weight, appetite, and blood cell counts) were monitored over time.
Results showed that mice receiving CML cells displayed significant health decline, with notable increases in leukemia cell counts and the presence of the BCR/ABL fusion gene, confirming the model's effectiveness for studying human CML.
