Rapid decline of chronic myeloid leukemic cells in long-term culture due to a defect at the leukemic stem cell level.
1 Jul 1992
Abstract excerpt
In this report we describe a quantitative in vitro assay for the most primitive type of leukemic precursors yet defined in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). This assay is based on the recently described "long-term culture-initiating cell" (LTC-IC) assay for primitive normal human hematopoietic cells. Such cells, when cocultured with competent fibroblast feeder layers, give rise after a minimum of 5...
