During the lysis of leukemic cells with a monoclonal antibody cocktail (the so-called VIB pool) and complement the attempt was made to replace rabbit serum as a complement source by human serum. For identifying the lysis of leukemic cells the complement-dependent in vitro cytotoxicity test was used and for excluding stem cell toxicity the CFU-c test according to PIKE and ROBINSON. In combination with the applied monoclonal antibody pool against B and c-ALL the human complement could be shown to be suitable to produce a lysis in the same manner as rabbit complement. Similarly to the pretested rabbit serum the treatment with the human complement had no impact on stem cell recovery. An optimal cytotoxic activity (95% against ALL blasts of patients, 100% against NALM) could be identified up to an antibody dilution of 1:32 with a volume percentage of 50% of human complement, an incubation temperature of at least 37 degrees C and an incubation time of 30 mins. With proved high reactivity against leukemic cells and lacking impairment of the haemopoietic power of the bone-marrow, this method can be recommended for "purging" protocol with the possibility of using human serum as a source of complement having advantages as far as clinical application is concerned.
