Abstract
Summary Developing fat cells in the bone marrow of leukaemic patients treated with chemotherapy were found to be endowed with membrane-bound alkaline phosphatase. Since alkaline phosphatase is a cytochemical marker of ‘reticular’cells, this observation provides cytochemical evidence that reticular cells may convert to adipocytes when marrow cellularity abruptly decreases.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
