A technique for the removal of tumour cells frombone marrow is described. This involves rendering the tumourcells ‘magnetic’ by attaching them to magnetite–containingmicrospheres by a double layer of antibody. Bone marrow conrainingthese ‘magnetic’ tumour cells is then passed througha system of magnets so that the tumour cells are drawn out ofthe bone marrow. Treated bone marrow may then be reinfusedinto the patient from which it was taken.
