title: Failure to immortalise human AML cells using human recombinant GMCSF in vitro and in vivo.
abstract: We have failed to find any evidence that human recombinant GM-CSF can immortalize human AML cells grown in liquid culture or as nodules in immune deprived mice. In previous clinical studies and a controlled trial currently underway there is no evidence of irreversible acceleration of the disease.
