Functional cell compartments were studied in a rat model for human acute myelocytic leukaemia (AML). This was done by tracing the distribution of injected 51Chromium-labelled leukaemic cells in the body. It was concluded that two functional compartments can be distinguished in acute leukaemia, i.e., a rapidly exchangeable pool of cells (including the circulating blood pool, the marginal noncirculating blood pool and the rapidly exchangeable tissue pool; RETP) and a slowly exchangeable tissue pool (SETP). The sizes of these various compartments were roughly quantified at various stages of the disease by calculations based on the principle of isotope dilution and organ weight measurements. As the leukaemia progresses, the size of the SETP increased significantly relative to the size of the RETP. Simultaneously, the exchange rates of leukaemic cells between the organs and the blood decrease. The blood transit time of leukaemic cells was also significantly prolonged, as is the case in human AML.
