The use of human leukemic (HL)-60 cells is important for studies of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and as a model system for investigating how specific types of blood cells are formed during the process of hematopoiesis. Here, we present a protocol for growth of HL-60 cells along with molecular and functional profiles associated with their cryostorage. We also elucidate the effects of these procedures on cell viability and functions. This method can be used to provide biomarkers as readouts for testing the efficacy and/or toxicity of novel compounds in AML research as well as in a number of other experimental manipulations.
