title: Phospholipase A2 activity in rat and human lymphocytes.
abstract: Partial characterization of phospholipase A from rat and human lymphocytes showed that it was much less active in man than in rat. The use of phosphatidylethanolamine labelled in the 2 position as substrate established that phospholipase A activity was 2 acyl-specific. It was maximal at pH 7.0 to 8.0, totally Ca2+ dependent and inhibited by detergents and Indomethacin.
