Twenty-one cases of relapsed acute leukemia were treated with high dose piperazindione and total body irradiation followed by infusion of autologous cryopreserved remission bone marrow. Evidence for engraftment was obtained in nineteen. Eleven patients achieved complete remission of two to fourteen months duration (median 3+). Attempts to decrease leukemic contamination of the remission bone marrow by density separation did not influence the complete remission rate and duration.
