Abstract: | Two methods for the determination of adenosine deaminase and purine nucleoside phosphorylase activities were compared. The high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) technique used separation on a reversed-phase silica column and exhibited adequate sensitivity and a markedly higher rate of analysis compared with that of the paper radiochromatographic method. Correlation analysis of the results obtained by the two methods on a set of lymphoid cells from 25 patients with lympho-proliferative disorders confirmed the utility of the HPLC technique in clinical investigations. |
