摘要
Although Mcl-1 has been established as a survival and maintenance protein during in vitro incubations of primary CLL cells, in this issue of Blood, Pepper and colleagues further demonstrate the association of Mcl-1 with other prognostic factors and the role of this antiapoptotic protein in disease progression and outcome for patients with CLL.
