[Blast cell differentiation of a continuous human leukemia line as affected by dimethyl sulfoxide]

The human blast cells line L-101 isolated from blood leukocytes of the patient with the cutaneous erythromyeloleukemia in the media with dimethyl-sulfoxide (DMSO) and maintained by permanent cultivation stimulate myeloid differentiation of this cells. The number of differentiated cells depends on DMSO concentration. Maximum of differentiated cells (up to 75%) have exposed on the 6th day of incubation with 0,75% DMSO. The cell line L-101 is a suitable model for investigation of myeloid differentiation.
