title: UV-induced DNA repair in hairy cell leukaemia patients.
abstract: We analysed by liquid scintillation counting and by autoradiography the DNA repair synthesis induced by UV irradiation in mononucleated cells from peripheral blood of 'hairy cell leukaemia' patients. In 9 out of 12 patients the repair activity values obtained in repeated assays were found to be significantly lower than those of healthy donors.
