title: Inhibitory effect of 3-deazaadenosine on the thromboplastin response of stimulated human monocytes.
abstract: Immune complexes (IC), 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), endotoxin (LPS) and phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) induce thromboplastin activity in human peripheral blood monocytes. In the presence of transmethylation inhibitors 3-deazaadenosine (DZA) and homocysteine a dose-dependent inhibition of the thromboplastin response reaching about 60 per cent was observed, when IC, LPS or PHA was used as the stimulant. TPA-induced thromboplastin synthesis was more resistant (maximum 20 per cent inhibition).
