SUMMARY
Tyrosine kinase (TK) activity in primary mononuclear blood cells (MNBC) derived from chronic
myelogenous leukemia (CML) patients in the chronic phase as well as from healthy donors was measured
by a sensitive time-resolved fluorescence method using the Delfia Tyrosine Kinase kit. The level of
phosphotyrosine was assessed in parallel by flow-cytometry. The experimental protocol for Delfia was
optimized using a K562 cell line. A large part (20 to 50%) of the fluorescence signal from K562 cells was
sensitive to Imatinib mesylate, an inhibitor of Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase, which is currently the leading
drug in CML treatment. In primary MNBC, the direct contribution of Bcr-Abl itself to the signal was
low. However, a 48h treatment of MNBC with 5 microM Imatinib resulted in a significant reduction of the
observed TK activity (mean TK activity value: 56% of control) paralleled by a decrease in the
phosphotyrosine level in the CML group. Modification of TK activity by Imatinib was observed also in
the donor group. Imatinib mesylate thus probably affects cell signalization even in Bcr-Abl negative cells.
