leukemia (CML) cases. Southern blot analysis using the universal BCR (UBCR) probe on
BglII-digested DNA samples is the most commonly used technique, while employing the
human 3′ bcr probe (PR-1) is usually considered a complementary tool. In this study, we
tried to develop a simple and economic strategy for molecular characterization of CML using
the 3′ probe as it has been shown to be the one capable of locating the breakpoint site …
