Description:
Fresh peripheral blood lymphocytes from eight patients with congenital agammaglobulinemia demonstrate reduced ecto-5'-nucleotidase activity when compared to the mean activity of normal subjects and patients with other forms of immunoglobulin deficiency. A specific defect of ecto-5'-nucleotidase is further suggested by normal values for lymphocyte ecto-adenosinetriphosphatase and ecto-nonspecific phosphatase. The data provide evidence for an enzyme deficiency in this X-linked, B lymphocyte deficiency syndrome.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Edwards, N L -- Magilavy, D B -- Cassidy, J T -- Fox, I H -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1978 Aug 18;201(4356):628-30.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27864" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
