title: Basic defect in the expression of adenosine deaminase in ADA-SCID disease. II. Deficiency of ADA-CRM detected in heterozygote human-Chinese hamster cell hybrids.
abstract: A specific competitive radioimmunoassay (RIA) was employed to quantify human adenosine deaminase molecules produced in human-Chinese hamster somatic cell hybrids. Studies on a set of hybrids in which the normal and aberrant expressions of adenosine deaminase (assigned earlier to human chromosome 20) were segregating, have demonstrated that in the patient with ADA-SCID disease reported by Herbschleb-Voogt et al. (1981 a), the deficiency of ADA activity was associated with a comparable deficiency of adenosine deaminase specific immuno-crossreacting material (ADA-CRM).
