[Morphofunctional characteristics of the blast cells in acute myelomonoblastic leukemia]

Morphocytochemical and immunological characteristics and indices of the cloning effectiveness were studied in agar cultures. Three types of leukemic cells were found whose ratio in the bone marrow varied in a rather wide range. The lymphoid markers (of cOLL and T-antigens) were detected on blast cells. It is established that histogenetic characteristics of the blast cells determines peculiarities of their growth in the agar culture.
