Transfection technique with the use of high molecular DNA was applied for the investigations of peripheral blood white cells DNA transforming properties in patients with chronic lymphatic leukemia B. Using transfection tests in liquid medium (focus assay) and colony forming in soft agar, the differences in L(tk-) cells transformation were noted following an addition of neoplastic DNA. Medium collected over transformants has shown mitogen properties in micro-mitogen tests on cells BALB/c 3T3. No correlation between clinical stage of the disease and the results of tests was observed.
