Leukocyte lysozyme activity in myelocytic leukemia.
L YSOZYME, A CATIONIC POLYPEPTIDE of low molecular weight,’ is present in serum and in certain blood cells. The enzyme is found in granulocytes and monocytes but not in lymphocytes, red cells or platelets.23 Leukocyte lysozyme levels in general are increased in monocytic and decreased in lymphocytic leukemia.46 Varying levels have been reported in the myelocytic and monomyelocytic leukemias.4’T...
متن کاملLeukocyte labeling with 51-chromium. II. Leukocyte kinetics in chronic myelocytic leukemia.
Sequential or simultaneous leukocyte kinetic studies using radioactive diisopropylfluorophosphate and radiochromate (31Cr) yielded similar or identical blood leukocyte disappearance curves in seven patients with chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML). Body surface counting regularly showed a rise in the spleen counting rate during the first hours after infusions of granulocyte populations of mixed m...
متن کاملChemotherapy of acute myelocytic leukemia in children.
Acute myelocytic leukemia (AML) in both children and adults is a more complex and resistant disease than acute lymphocytic leukemia. Progress has been slower and therapy more complicated, but with intensive myelosuppressive induction and further postremission therapy one-third of such patients may now achieve longterm survival and probably be cured.’-5 In the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland,...
متن کاملDaunorubicin metabolism in acute myelocytic leukemia.
mic enzyme that converts daunorubicm to a principal metabolite, daunorubicino!, in the presence of NADPH. This enzyme, found in mammalian tissues and studied in rat tissue preparations and normal human blood components, is also present in human leukemic myeloblasts. The enzymes from both normal and leukemic leukocytes require NADPH for activity, have similar kinetics and substrate saturation ch...
متن کاملAutoimmune hemolytic anemia in a patient with acute myelocytic leukemia.
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) has been described in patients with lymphoid neoplasm with an etiologic relationship between the emergence of autoantibodies and lymphocyte dysfunction. Autoimmune disorders are less to develop in patients with other neoplasm like chronic myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia. Few reports have been documented the development of i...
