Bone marrow-derived stromal cells prevent apoptotic cell death in B- lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia
1 May 1992
Abstract excerpt
Establishing requirements for the survival of human immature B cells in vitro has proved elusive. In this article, we report prolonged survival of B-lineage leukemic cells on 'feeder layers' of bone marrow (BM)-derived stromal cells in a serum-free environment. In 15 of 18 cases of B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), there was a greater than 50% decrease in the number of viable cells after 72 hours of...
