title: Establishment of leukemia cell lines, BALM-6, BALM-7 and BALM-8 with B-cell characteristics from a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
abstract: Three leukemia cell lines, BALM-6, -7 and -8 were established from the bone marrow of a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Based on immunophenotypic and the cytogenetic analysis and on the expression of immunoglobulins on both the cell surface and in the cytoplasm, BALM-6, BALM-7 and BALM-8 are clonal leukemic cell populations of B cell origin.
