title: L-asparaginase--antileukemia agent.
abstract: This paper is an extension of a previous report (Yaqub 1975). Our interest in L-asparaginase is increasing due to the recognition of the fact that it is a best tool against leukemia. In this paper we have tried to discuss (in view of research work, 1973-75) its basic characteristics and its practicability of successfully being used as an antitumour agent.
