These results differ from a report by Luo et al [11] that suggested that expression of MYC alone in bone marrow cells transplanted into recipient hosts give rise to AML, while coexpression of MYC and BCL-2 gave rise to a mixture of AML and pre-B acute lymphoid leukemia in BALB/c mice (see Discussion). Here, MYC is linked to acute myeloid leukemia.
