Recovery of CFU-C after freezing of normal and leukemic human bone marrow. 1979

W A Robinson, and C Drebing, and T Mahmood, and M Entringer, and S Redecker

Studies have been carried out to determine the viability of leukemic and normal human bone marrow, cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen at -196 degrees C, using changes in total cell numbers and granulocyte colony forming ability in vitro. These studies have shown that there is considerable variability in the recovery of CFU-C from individual specimens. When the overall recovery, in all patients, is taken into account, there is a gradual decline in CFU-C numbers to about 60% after 24 months of freezing. CFU-C recovery is closely correlated with recovery of total cell numbers.

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.

D009584 Nitrogen An element with the atomic symbol N, atomic number 7, and atomic weight [14.00643; 14.00728]. Nitrogen exists as a diatomic gas and makes up about 78% of the earth's atmosphere by volume. It is a constituent of proteins and nucleic acids and found in all living cells.
