The establishment of permanent acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) lines of different phenotypes permits the study of their sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents. The sensitivity of four ALL cell lines, two T-cell lines and one each of B- and non-T/non-B cell lines, to eight chemotherapeutic agents was studied by means of clonogenic assay. Response data were analyzed by two criteria--one based on concentrations obtainable from the elimination phase and the other based on peak concentration--both derived from pharmacokinetic studies in man. The overall correlation between the two criteria was good and only in 5 of 32 occasions were there major discrepancies. A retrospective analysis of the clinical course of the four donor patients showed that although the one set of criteria gave a positive correlation of asparaginase response in vivo, the other positively correlated the daunorubicin response, but not vice versa. No new cut-off line could be drawn to satisfy completely in vitro/in vivo correlation for all the drugs. Although the possibility exists that a leukemic cell line may not actually be predictive of chemotherapeutic responsiveness in the donor patients, our data indicate a need to reexamine the in vitro system in predictive testing of antileukemic agents.
