ABSTRACT
We describe a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in whom hemopoiesis recovered after an autologous marrow graft purged by in vitro hyperthermia. A 17-year-old woman was diagnosed as having ALL in April 1985. After clinical remission was induced, marrow cells were harvested. The marrow cells were treated with hyperthermia at 42.0 degrees C for 1 h in the presence of alpha-interferon to eliminate residual leukemic cells, and then cryopreserved. In January 1990, during her fourth remission she was treated with busulfan and cyclophosphamide, and then received the thawed autologous marrow. Her hematopoietic recovery was prompt with normal trilineage regeneration without any life-threatening complications. She is in good health without evidence of a leukemic relapse at 6 months after autologous bone marrow transplantation. This case suggests that human multilineage progenitor cells retain self-renewal capacity in vivo even after treatment with heat and alpha-interferon in vitro followed by the freezing and thawing procedures.
