Summary In vitro culture of leukemic blood leukocytes from patients with chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML) showed them to be capable of division in the absence of phytohemagglutinin. In the presence of the latter, lymphocytes in the blood of these subjects were preferentially stimulated into mitosis. In the absence of the mitogenic stimulant only the immature leukemic granulocytic cells underwent division. The capacity of the leukemic leukocytes in CML to divide in vitro without an exogenous mitogenic agent was a characteristic of both Ph 1 -positive and Ph 1 -negative CML cells. The results indicate that immature granulocytic cells in the blood of patients with CML, and possibly in the blood of nonleukemic subjects, are capable of division without exogenous mitogenic substances.
