ith high dose subcutaneous peritumoral injections may be responsible for the observed toxic effects. Multiple injections with lower doses or implanted drug depots may be better tolerated regarding toxic side effects. In our tumor model we have shown that mistletoe extracts, solubilized triterpene extracts and combinations of both show antitumor effects. Mainly reduction of tumor surrounding blood vessels and necrosis induction were observed. Mistletoe extracts were able to significantly inhibit tumor growth, and this growth inhibition was increased by combined treatment with triterpenoids, while STE alone did not influence tumor growth. However, although STE alone had no effect on tumor growth it was not completely inactive because it clearly increased the anti-tumorigenic activity of the STE enriched VTT extract. The activity enhancing potential of STE has been shown also in C.B-17/SCID mice carrying NALM-6 cells, where viscumTT treatment significantly increased the median survival compared to the placebo, mistletoe control and triterpene control group. Therefore, the in vivo activity of viscumTT is not limited to the B16.F10 murine melanoma model. Taken together, the results from the present mouse melanoma study provide 17526600 strong evidence for an added value of enrichment with solubilized triterpenes of mistletoe extracts that warrants further investigation. ~~ The Friend Leukemia Virus Integration 1 is a member of the Ets family of transcription factors. Fli-1 is expressed in hematopoietic lineages and vascular endothelial cells and regulates the expression of multiple target genes involved in proliferation, differentiation and cell death. Originally, Fli-1 was discovered as a common retroviral insertion site in Friend Murine Leukemia Virus-induced erythroleukaemia and subsequently as a common rearrangement in human Ewing’s sarcoma resulting in an EWS/ Fli1 fusion product. Fli-1 is essential for embryonic AEB 071 biological activity development and has been shown to be required for megakaryocyte development as well as play a major role in myeloid, erythroid and natural killer cell development. It has also been demonstrated that Fli-1 is expressed in immature T cells and concomitantly downregulated in pre-B cells. Interestingly, H2KK-Fli-1 transgenic mice, which express high levels of FLI-1 in the thymus and spleen, die of an immunological renal disease and display increased numbers of mature B cells with reduced activation-induced cell death but no significant difference in CD4+CD8+ T cell distribution. The exact role of Fli-1 in T cell development is therefore not clear. Fli-1 Overexpression Induces T Cell Leukemia 2 Fli-1 Overexpression Induces T Cell Leukemia ingly, Fli-1 overexpression in vivo eventually resulted in a fatal T cell lymphoblastic leukaemia/lymphoma with infiltration of leukaemic cells into the thymus, spleen, 7751958 lymph node, bone marrow and liver. No enhancement of pro-survival Bcl-2 family members was evident in Fli-1 transduced cells, but subsequent analysis revealed NOTCH1 upregulation in all leukaemic Fli-1 cells and the presence of 59 Notch1 deletions and PEST mutations. Retroviral Transduction and Transplantation Red cell depleted CD45.1 FL or BM cells from 5-fluorouraciltreated mice were used as donor cells and transplanted into CD45.2 lethally irradiated recipients. Up to 2 million E15.5 FL or adult BM 
cells were precultured for 2448 hours in 2 ml complete IMDM with 50 mM bmercaptoethanol, 50 ng/ml SCF, 6 ng/ml IL-3, 20 ng/ml IL-6, 4 ng/ml IL
