Because RNA expression does not always reflect protein levels [25], we investigated NMT protein levels in hematologic cancer cell lines and tumors using western blotting in a collection of randomly gathered hematologic cell lines, as well as in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma (FL) tumor lysates (Fig. 1E, F). Here, NMT1 is linked to follicular lymphoma.
