Abstract
Bone marrow cells from children with lymphoblastic leukemia, myeloblastic leukemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were incubated with tritium-labelled methotrexate in short-term cultures. Cells obtained both during disease activity as well as during remission synthesized large quantities of methotrexate polyglutamates. Synthesis was time- and dose-dependent and occurred with concentrations of methotrexate regularly achieved during conventional treatment with this drug.Entities:
