Abstract

Today I would like to discuss the cell culture approach that I have been using to try and understand the control mechanisms that regulate the growth and differentiation of normal and malignant leukocytes. The results obtained are of relevance to the origin and development of leukemia, and should also be of value in furthering the diagnosis and therapy of human leukemia.
