Bone Marrow Cells in Suppressing Leukemic Cell Growth.

In this paper we review our experimental findings concerning the capacity of bone marrow cells (BMC) to control leukemic cell growth. It has been shown that the cells isolated from normal bone marrow can provide dose dependent suppression of the proliferative activity of leukemic cells in vitro. BMC cytostatic effect is antigen non-specific and does not associate with cell death.
