Abstract
The inherited deficiency of purine nucleoside Phosphorylase results in severe T cell immunodeficiency disease1. We have studied the synthesis of purine nucleoside Phosphorylase during phytohumagglutinin induced T cell transformation and have examined the turnover of purine nucleoside Phosphorylase in the human lymphoblast WI-L2.
