<h4>Objective</h4>Infiltration of the central nervous system (CNS) by leukemia is a problematic disease manifestation of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The mechanisms by which leukocytes interact with human brain-derived microvasculature endothelial cells (HBMEC) and enter the CNS are largely derived from models of inflammation. However, our data indicate that ALL cells do not elicit an inflammatory phenotype by HBMEC. Our current investigation focuses on the contribution of the unique coex ...[more]
