Summary
Cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase activity was depressed in whole spleen as well as in isolated splenic lymphocytes from 3-methylcholanthrene (MCA), R3230 AdCa mammary adenocarcinoma, N-hydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene, and 4-dimethylaminoazobenzene (DMAAB) tumor-bearing Fischer rats as compared to control animals. The magnitude of depression increased with the immunogenicity of the tumor. The depressed enzyme activity was the result of a reduced Vmax for adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (cAMP)-stimulated histone phosphorylation.
