title: Serial quantitative observations of leukemic and normal hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow of acute leukemia under chemotherapy.
abstract: In 87 cases of acute leukemia, leukemic and normal hematopoietic cell count in the bone marrow was serially observed, and the findings were used for evaluating the effectiveness of antileukemic agents and also for determining the grade of decrease in the marrow leukemic cell count required to start the proliferation of normal hematopoietic cells and to obtain complete remission of acute leukemia in adults.
