[Establishment of leukaemia cell lines and their significance for clinical and experimental oncology (author's transl)]. 1979

U Schneider, and H U Schwenk, and K H Herzog

Permanent in vitro growing leukemic cell lines have been established from all types of immunologically classified childhood leukemias. Essential characteristics of primary blasts and cultured cells are identical. In contrast to lymphoblastoid, non-leukemic cell lines, the Epstein-Barr-virus specific nuclear angiten (EBNA) is not detected. Up to now 8 Non-B-non-T cell lines (6 of them were derived from children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, 2 from patients with chronic myeloid leukemia), 8 T-lines and one B-line have been established. Three Non-B-non-T lines from children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (KM-3, RU-3, MH-3) and one T-cell line (JM) were cultivated by ourselves. Cultured blasts represent a pure tumor material which can be propagated in large quantities. Leukemic cell lines reveal a new approach for the search after leukemia-associated proteins and represent another possibility for the experimental investigation of the etiology of leukemia.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007938 Leukemia A progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow. Leukemias were originally termed acute or chronic based on life expectancy but now are classified according to cellular maturity. Acute leukemias consist of predominately immature cells; chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells.
