Cell lines derived from a human myelomonocytic leukaemia. 1982

T R Bradley, and G Pilkington, and M Garson, and G S Hodgson, and N Kraft

Two cell lines have been isolated from separate samples, taken at the same time, from the peripheral blood of a case of myelomonocytic leukaemia. One of these (CESS-B) is a typical B cell line obtained after treatment of the peripheral blood white cells with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). The second line (RC-2) is a monocyte-macrophage type, originally isolated by 5 months continuous culture in the presence of colony stimulating factor (CSF). Subsequently, after further culture, this line has become autonomous (RC-2A), no longer requiring CSF for maintenance of proliferation, whilst retaining the characteristics of the original line.

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
