title: Phosphatidylethanolamine methylation in leukocyte membrane preparations from allergic subjects: an unexpected result.
abstract: We studied the incorporation of [3H]methyl from [3H]methyl-S-adenosylmethionine into leukocyte phospholipids. A higher incorporation in leukocytes from control subjects than from allergic subjects was noticed.
