We explored the role of interleukin-7 (IL-7) in the bone marrow (BM) stroma-mediated survival of primary T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) cells and normal thymocytes. We present evidence that IL-7 has a major role in the enhanced survival mediated by BM stroma both in T-ALL cells and thymocytes.
Key words: T-ALL, thymocytes, BM stroma, IL-7, survival, proliferation.
