title: Immunomodulators and enzymes of purine metabolism in human lymphocytes.
abstract: The enzymes ADA and PNP were evaluated in lymphocytic subpopulations in peripheral blood obtained from healthy subjects, elderly subjects and patients with immunoproliferative diseases. Some similar assessments were performed on lymphoid cells from cord blood. Preliminary studies indicate that Thymostimulin can in some cases correct enzymic defects.
