Abstract:
The High Mobility Group protein HMG 17 has been isolated from human leukemia cells obtained from patients with chronic myelogenic leukemia (CML). The level of expression of HMG 17 was investigated Human leukemia cells have three times more HMG 17 than normal human leukocytes. Three other malignant tissues were also compared. Two of these breast adenocarcinoma and other intestine- also exhibit higher amounts of HMG 17. The elevated expression of HMG 17 suggests that the level of the protein may be associated with rates of cellular proliferation.

Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune system...
