• mice begin to develop leukemia at 3-4 months of age
• tumor development penetrance is 88%
• 4% of mice develop mixed B-cell/myeloid leukemia
• 4% of mice develop myeloid leukemia
• mice that die before 400 days of age almost all develop T-cell leukemia, while those that die at an older age develop either B-cell leukemia, myeloid leukemia, a mixed B-cell/myeloid leukemia or T-cell/myeloid leukemia
• mice show a lag period of almost 100 days between the last mouse to succumb to T-cell leukemia and the onset of B-cell or B-cell/myeloid leukemia
