Abstract
Hematopoietic growth factors (G-CSF, GM-CSF, and IL-3) are potent stimulators of proliferation and differentiation of normal myelopoiesis in vitro and in vivo [1]. To study the effects of G-CSF, GM-CSF, and IL-3 on proliferation of leukemic cells of children with acute nonlymphoblastic leukemia (ANLL), we investigated peripheral blood (PB) and bone marrow (BM) cells of 20 children with ANLL. Furthermore, we studied production of G-CSF by leukemic cells.
