Bone marrow cells from patients with acute leukemia in remission were tested for capacity to produce a substance (leukemia-associated inhibitory activity, LIA) that inhibits formation of granulocyte and macrophage colonies in cultures of normal, but not leukemic, bone marrow. LIA was detected in extracts of whole marrow in only 8 of 83 patients in remission. Extracts of slowly sedimenting cells separated by velocity sedimentation from marrows of 8 patients in remission whose whole marrow had produced no LIA, produced inhibitory material in all cases. Extracts of more rapidly sedimenting cells from these marrows contained an LIA inactivator. Three of 6 patients in remission whose unfractionated marrow was unresponsive to LIA had a subpopulation of colony-forming cells that was sensitive to the inhibitor. Certain cellular functions apparently do not completely return to normal during remission of acute leukemia.
