Electron Microscopic Studies of Suspension Cultures Derived from Human Leukemic and Nonleukemic Sources¹

Research Department, Southern California Cancer Center, Los Angeles, California 90015, and the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute, Houston, Texas 77025

Samples of seven suspension cultures derived from blood, bone marrow, spleen, and lymph nodes of patients with leukemia and nonleukemic conditions were examined by electron microscopy. The ultrastructure of the cells varied little between individual cultures, despite differences of tissue source and clinical diagnosis. Most cells were blasts that could not be identified further. Virus particles of the herpes type were found in five of the seven cultures examined.

¹ This investigation was supported in part by the Albert Soiland Cancer Foundation.
