Abstract
The immunological study of L-asparaginase is of interest for two main reasons: first, this enzyme is immunogenic; this effect may explain the appearance of resistance in mice bearing a leukemia which is sensitive to the drug (Waravdekar and Goldin, 1969) (personal unpublished findings); secondly, L-asparaginase shows immunosuppressive activities in a number of tests.
