In vitro transformation by individual mutants assessed by suppression of contact-dependent growth in a Rat-1 focus formation assay, abrogation of anchorage-dependent growth in a Rat-1 soft agar colony formation assay, or propagation of lymphoid cells in long-term bone marrow cultures.

P185 triple mutant (P185 TM) contains a mutation in the Grb-2 binding site (Y177F), the phosphotyrosine-binding site within the SH2 domain (R552L), and an autophosphorylation site (Y793F).

P185 TM confers IL-3 independence to BaF3 but not to 32D cells.30 ND indicates not determined.
