title: A culture technique for chromosome analysis in human myeloid leukemias.
abstract: A simple culture technique for the study of cells from myeloid leukemias and other blood disorders of myeloid series is described. The procedure is the same with that of the ordinary cultures, except for the addition of colony stimulating factor. A large number of mitotic cells can be obtained, and they are quite suitable for banding treatments. Clear banding patterns are consistently obtained.
