[Immunosuppressive action of polyamines in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia].
To assess the role of polyamines in the mechanism of immunosuppression in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), polyamines levels were measured in the urine and blood, polyamines reactivity was investigated in 113 CML patients in correlation with the process aggression. In patients with aggressive CML (23 subjects) and large tumor mass the above concentrations were significantly higher than in patients with less severe CML run (90 subjects). There were also parallels between polyamines concentrations in the biological media and the patient's immunoreactivity. This suggests involvement of polyamines in immunosuppression observed in CML.
