Using fluorescence in situ hybridization, the human alpha-fodrin gene (nonerythroid alpha spectrin, SPTAN1), a member of the spectrin gene superfamily, was mapped to 9q33-->q34. This locus is near the translocation breakpoint region in the Philadelphia (Ph1) chromosome, t(9;22)(q34;q11). In a human chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line with the Ph1 chromosome, K562, the alpha-fodrin gene mapped centromeric to the translocation breakpoint, indicating that the alpha-fodrin gene is not translocated to the Ph1 chromosome in this cell line.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
D008840 Microfilament Proteins Monomeric subunits of primarily globular ACTIN and found in the cytoplasmic matrix of almost all cells. They are often associated with microtubules and may play a role in cytoskeletal function and/or mediate movement of the cell or the organelles within the cell.

D002892 Chromosomes, Human, Pair 22 A specific pair of GROUP G CHROMOSOMES of the human chromosome classification. Chromosome 22
D002899 Chromosomes, Human, Pair 9 A specific pair of GROUP C CHROMSOMES of the human chromosome classification. Chromosome 9
D005810 Multigene Family A set of genes descended by duplication and variation from some ancestral gene. Such genes may be clustered together on the same chromosome or dispersed on different chromosomes. Examples of multigene families include those that encode the hemoglobins, immunoglobulins, histocompatibility antigens, actins, tubulins, keratins, collagens, heat shock proteins, salivary glue proteins, chorion proteins, cuticle proteins, yolk proteins, and phaseolins, as well as histones, ribosomal RNA, and transfer RNA genes. The latter three are examples of reiterated genes, where hundreds of identical genes are present in a tandem array.
