Effect of retinoic acid on bone-marrow committed stem cells (CFU-c) from chronic myeloid leukemia patients

The effect of retinoic acid (all-trans) on the clonal growth of chronic myeloid leukemia marrow was studied. The results indicate that 3 X 10(-5) M, 3 X 10(-6) M, 3 X 10(-7) M and 3 X 10(-8) M of retinoic acid inhibits the colony stimulating activity of placental conditioned medium.
