Homocystinuria: Heterozygote Detection
cytes as a readily available source of this enzyme, its activity has been compared in 48 control subjects, seven homozygotes affected with homocystinuria, and 17 obligate heterozygotes. PHA-induced enzyme levels were highest in controls (mean ±SEM, 666.9±170.2 pmol cystathionine formed/mg protein per 4 h), intermediate in heterozygotes (114.4±27.3), and absent to severely deficient in homozygot...
متن کاملSpurious detection of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase in phytohemagglutinin-stimulated lymphocytes.
Expression of terminal transferase (TdT) is believed to be restricted to primitive lymphoid cells; recently, however, indirect immunofluorescent (IF) assays have been used to demonstrate the apparent presence of TdT in phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated peripheral blood lymphocytes and in various nonlymphoid malignancies. Using an IF assay, we found that a heteroantiserum to TdT reacted with c...
متن کاملA method for counting phytohemagglutinin-stimulated lymphocytes.
I T HAS BEEN SHOWN that peripheral i)lood lynlphocvtes undergo trainsformation and mitosis in vitro when cultured in the presence of plwtohemagglutinin ( PHA).’4 Little information has been reported on the numl)er of lymphocytes which survive and transform during the culturing interval. It has been very difficult to enumerate lymphocytes in cultures containing PFIA I)ecause the agglutinated ery...
متن کاملAdenosine metabolism in phytohemagglutinin-stimulated human lymphocytes.
The association of a human genetic deficiency of adenosine deaminase activity with combined immunodeficiency prompted a study of the effects of adenosine and of inhibition of adenosine deaminase activity on human lymphocyte transformation and a detailed study of adenosine metabolism throughout phytohemagglutinin-induced blastogenesis. The adenosine deaminase inhibitor, coformycin, at a concentr...
متن کاملImmunologic memory of phytohemagglutinin-stimulated lymphocytes.
By JEROME I. BRODY AND HENRY D. SOLTYS T HE PUBPOSE of this study was to delineate the durability and persistence of immunologic recall in the normal peripheral blood lymphocyte using methods which might reflect the importance of the manner by which imniunologic information is acquired. This was done in the present investigation with the technic of bacterial adherence,”2 in which circumferentia...
