title: Hypoxanthine effects on cyclic AMP levels in human lymphocytes.
abstract: We have measured hypoxanthine effect on cAMP levels in PBL in basal conditions (no agonist), and with the addition of 2-(p-[2-carboxyethyl] phenylethylamino)-5'-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (CGS-21680, a specific A2 receptor agonist). We have found that hypoxanthine, at 25 microM and 50 microM concentrations, increases cAMP levels in PBL in basal and A2 agonist stimulated conditions.
