Protocol to establish a stable MLL-AF9 _AML mouse model
Jun Lu, Huanhuan Zhao, Lingling Yang, Xi Jiang
Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is one of the most common and fatal forms of hematopoietic malignancies. Here, we describe a mouse MLL-AF9_AML model to investigate AML. We have optimized the protocols for retrovirus infection, bone marrow transplantation (BMT), and leukemia monitoring to create a stable mouse model. In particular, we have used two rounds of BMT to enhance stability and efficiency. This model can be used to conduct drug administration and/or other interventions easily. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Zhao et?al. (2022).
