Abstract

Soft-agar cloning was used to investigate possible granulopoietic-monopoietic regulatory defects in the chick with myeloblastic leukemia induced by avian myeloblastosis virus. The plasma levels of granulocyte-monocyte colony-stimulating activity (CSA) of normal and leukemic plasmas were the same when undiluted or unfractionated plasmas were tested. However, dilution or fractionation revealed elevations in plasma CSA levels in the leukemic animals. Most of the activity in both normal and leukemic plasma eluted in the void-volume peak during Sephadex G-200 gel filtration, and the CSA levels in the leukemic peak were increased 5- to 10-fold. This increase did not reflect higher levels of an inhibitory lipoprotein eluting in the void volume since the differential between normal and leukemic plasma was present after delipidation. We therefore investigated the possibility that a nonlipoprotein inhibitor was present. Sephadex G-200 chromatography of leukemic plasma revealed that a potent inhibitor of colony formation was present in one of the peaks of material eluting from the column. Eight micrograms of this material inhibited colony formation by 50%. This inhibitory material was not detected in corresponding fractions obtained after...Continue Reading

Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disease with approximately 20,000 cases per year in the United States. AML also accounts for 15-20% of all childhood acute leukemias, while it is responsible for more than half of the leukemic deaths in these patients. Here is the latest research on this disease.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
