Popis: A deliberate engraftment with nonirradiated chronic granulocytic leukemia (CGL) cells was performed in a patient with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) at a time when he was resistant to cytotoxic drug chemotherapy, pancytopenic and developed an infection. The CGL engraftment was confirmed by the presence of a Ph1-positive donor clone in the recipient's bone marrow and by the pattern of colony growth of the recipient's bone-marrow cells cultured in vitro. Bone marrow engraftment in the host helped in the resolution of infection and permitted the administration of further cytotoxic drugs, as a result of which a remission of AML occurred.
