title: Adenosine transport in HPRT deficient lymphocytes from Lesch-Nyhan disease patients.
abstract: We have analysed adenosine transport and [3H] NBTI binding in peripheral blood lymphocytes obtained from Lesch-Nyhan patients, in basal conditions and following 24 h incubation with hypoxanthine. We found that adenosine transport and [3H] NBTI binding were significantly decreased in PBL-LN with respect to PBL-C in basal conditions. Following 25 microM hypoxanthine incubation, adenosine transport is decreased in PBL-LN with respect to basal transport, however, [3H] NBTI binding in PBL-LN was not decreased following hypoxanthine incubation.
