Abstract
Fluorescence polarization probe has been applied to study the reaction of human Iymphocytes from normal, malignant and leukaemic cells. Preliminary studies indicate that the reaction patterns emerging as a response to mitogens, manifesting in changes in the cytoplasm structuredness, combined with molecular biological studies of the turnover state and character of macromolecular RNA fractions, could be useful for the characterisation of leukaemias.
