Abstract. Colony stimulating activity present in plasma and in leukocytes from chronic myelogenous leukemia patients and from normal volunteers was determined by double layer bone-marrow tissue culture. Plasma and leukocytes incorporated into the bottom feeder layer stimulated the formation of colonies from human bone-marrow cells cultured in the upper semi-solid agar layer. The colony stimulating activity of plasma from chronic myelogenous leukemia patients was significantly increased over that of normal plasma (p
