Summary

The activity of adenosine deaminase (ADA) (EC3.5.4.4.) was determined in the blood plasma, erythrocytes, and lymphocytes of 23 patients with Hodgkin's disease and partly also in 99 control subjects. The enzyme activities were measured using adenosine as substrate and by analysis of ammonia. No correlation was found between the ADA activities in lymphocytes, erythrocytes, and blood plasma. The lymphocytes of the patients revealed lower ADA activities (U/g protein) than the lymphocytes of control subjects. The ADA activity is not reduced in plasma or erythrocytes. The lower activities of ADA in the lymphocytes of patients may be related to the impaired cell-mediated immunity of the Hodgkin's disease.

Zusammenfassung

Die Aktivität der Adenosindesaminase (EC3.5.4.4.) ADA in Blutplasma, Erythrozyten und Lymphozyten wurde bei 23 Patienten mit Morbus Hodgkin und teilweise bei 99 Referenzpersonen bestimmt. Die Enzymaktivitäten wurden mit Adenosin als Substrat und durch Analyse des Ammoniaks gemessen. Zwischen den ADA-Aktivitäten in Blutplasma, Erythrozyten und Lymphozyten wurde keine Korrelation festgestellt. Die Lymphozyten der Patienten wiesen niedrigere ADA-Aktivitäten auf als die Lymphozyten der Referenzpersonen. Die ADA-Aktivität in Plasma oder Erythrozyten ist nicht vermindert. Die herabgesetzten ADA-Aktivitäten in den Lymphozyten der Patienten können zur gestörten zellvermittelten Immunantwort bei Morbus Hodgkin in Beziehung gesetzt werden.
