Abstract
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a clonal disorder characterized by derangements of self-renewal and differentiation of lymphoid precursor cells in the bone marrow. Corresponding to the inconsistent stimulatory effects of the recombinant hematopoietic growth factors studied to date on B-lineage ALL blasts in vitro [1], a reproducible culture assay that supports proliferation and maturation of ALL blasts has not yet been reported.
