Abstract

A method for detecting chronic myelogenous leukemia in a human comprising the step of testing a biological sample from a patient to determine the presence of a marker protein (P210) which is characterized as a c-abl protein having tyrosine kinase activity and a molecular weight of approximately 210,000. Antisera which are specific for the P210 protein are disclosed which can be used to precipitate the P210 protein to allow identification by gel electrophoresis or other technique.
