The white-cell count decreased from 44,000 per cubic millimeter (80 percent blasts) to 11,000 per cubic millimeter (65 percent blasts) 3 hours after the intravenous infusion, with a further reduction over the next 16 hours. Nuclear scanning at 48 hours showed a marked redistribution of the antibody from the blood (indicated by the absence of visible cardiac and vascular structures on the scan) to . . .
