The present studies were performed to delineate the effect of high-dose methotrexate with citrovorum factor rescue on the measurable compartments of human granulopoiesis, including peripheral blood cells and bone marrow stem cells committed to granulopoiesis-monocytopoiesis. Parameters of granulopoiesis were determined during the first course of high-dose methotrexate with citrovorum factor res...
