RT-PCR analysis of FIP1L1-PDGFRA expression in cell fractions enriched for eosinophils or neutrophils.FIP1L1-PDGFRA fusion transcripts were detected in both eosinophils and neutrophils. PCR products of different sizes are observed, due to alternative splicing in FIP1L1, as observed previously.10,23 Two alternatively spliced transcripts with the same intensity were detected in eosinophils, whereas 1 predominant splice variant is present in neutrophils.
