Bone Marrow Transplantation for LeukemiaFor patients with leukemia, bone marrow transplantation provides a mechanism for avoiding the lethal consequences of marrow damage, making it possible to give "superlethal" chemoradiotherapy, and if...doi:10.1007/978-3-642-69934-4_2E. D. Thomas...
SERIAL ASSESSMENT OF BONE MARROW (BM) COLONY FORMING CAPACITY (CFC) IN CHILDREN WITH ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA (ALL)In vitro semisolid agar culture has been used to characterize and predict relapse in myelold leukemias. We evaluated 5 children with ALL on the same drug regimen with ...
Using a panel of conditional knockout mice, we found that only deletion of the IL-4 receptor IL-4Rα in early myeloid progenitors in bone marrow reduced tumour burden, whereas deletion of IL-4Rα in downstream mature myeloid cells had no effect. Mechanistically, IL-4 derived from bone ...
Bone Marrow is obtained from adult Acute Lymphoid Leukemia patients. Bone Marrow-Mononuclear Cells are isolated from bone marrow by diluting the whole bone marrow with phosphate buffered saline and using gradient separation techniques. Mononuclear Cells can be processed to isolate subpopulations. Acute Ly...
Bone Marrow is obtained from adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia patients. Bone Marrow-Mononuclear Cells are isolated by diluting the bone marrow with phosphate-buffered saline and using gradient separation techniques. After centrifugation, the Mononuclear Cells layer is collected. Mononuclear Cells can be proces...
The workup for chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) consists of a complete blood count with differential, peripheral blood smear, and bone marrow analysis. Although typical hepatomegaly and splenomegaly may be imaged by using a liver/spleen scan, these abnormalities are often so obvious clinically tha...
The examination of bone marrow fluid can not only diagnose leukemia, but also differentiate the type of bone marrow, and provide corresponding information for treatment. 2., the elimination of patient concerns, in order to achieve cooperation. It shows that the bone marrow taken by the bone ...
At least three factors may be responsible for leukemic relapse in patients receiving autologous bone marrow transplantation: (1) minimal residual disease; (2) leukemic cells reinfused with the graft; (3) the lack of a graft-versus-leukemia effect. In this paper, the techniques for ...
