[Cyclic AMP levels of peripheral lymphocytes in normal subjects and in patients with malignant neoplasms].
Cellular cAMP was determined by the competitive protein binding assay (RIA method) in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) isolated from 34 healthy blood donors and 31 tumor bearing patients. cAMP concentration in PBL from the cancerous patients was lower than the one found in healthy blood donors. Results are discussed in relation to the modification of immune reactivity induced by cancer.
