title: Activity of some hydrolases in mice with transplantable lymphatic leukemia P 388.
abstract: Mice--BDF, hybrides, males aged 3 months were injected intraperitoneally with 10(4) lymphatic leukemia cells P 388. The mice were killed by bleeding after 2.5 and 10 days after the injection. Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), leucylaminopeptidase (LAP) and cobalt activated acylase activity were determined in the serum of the mice. The inner organs of the animals were verified histopathologically. A statistically significant increase in the activity of the examined enzymes was observed together with the development of transplantable leukemia. These enzymes can be helpful in early monitoring of lymphatic leukemia P 388 in mice--as markers of cancer growth.
