Expression of Human Epidermal and Transforming Growth Factor Receptors in Normal Bone Marrow Cells and Leukemic Cells (Myeloid Leukemia and Lymphatic Leukemia)


Abstract in English

The goal of this research is to study the expression of epidermal and transforming growth factor receptor in normal human bone marrow (BM) cell, and in leukemia ( myeloid and lymphatic leukemia ) which promoted the research for the function of EGFR receptors in the development and growth of BM cells and for malignancies expressing of the EGFR as potential therapeutic targets in blood cell malignant diseases.
