An effect human leukaemic cell line: Reh

We report here an unusual cell line (Reh) initiated from the peripheral blood of a patient with acute lymphoid leukaemia. This line differs from the data we reported previously for other cell lines by its kinetics of establishment, by chromosome markers found on fresh and established cells, by the absence of EBNA and the presence of EBV receptors and other B markers. Reh cells are presently utilized for active immunotherapy of patients with acute lymphoid leukaemia.
