title: [Behavior of several prostaglandins (PGA, PGB, PGE 1, PGE 2, PGF 1, PGF 2) in normal and leukemic leukocytes. Radioimmunological method on intact cells].
abstract: The behaviour of prostaglandins A, B, E 1, E 2, F 1 and F 2 has been examined in the granulocytes and lymphocytes of the peripheral blood of normal subjects and in circulating leucocytes of patients with CML, AML, CLL and ALL. At the same time, modifications of PGE 2 in the granulocytes of normal subjects and in patients with CML or AML before and after phagocytosis of latex particles were monitored. The general observation was a lowering in PGE and PGF in acute myeloid and lymphatic leukaemia, while the variations in CML and CLL were rather complex. Also observed was a reduction in PGE 2 in AML but not in CML, including a reduced response to phagocytosis in granulocytes. The data are compared with previous reports of AMPc and GMPc in the same cells and commented on, taking into consideration their possible reflexion on the proliferative and functional activity of the cells examined.
