Abstract

The activities of phosphoamino acid phosphatases were measured in lymphocytes from normal adults. For cells from white individuals the mean value (+/- SD) for phosphotyrosine phosphatase activity was 342 +/- 120 mU/mg protein; mean values for phosphothreonine and phosphoserine phosphatase activities were 35.6 +/- 17.1 and 21.6 +/- 10.2 mU/mg protein, respectively. The corresponding activities were similar to these for both the Indian and Bantu population groups. The activity of phosphotyrosine phosphatase was significantly lower in lymphocytes from white children with acute lymphocytic leukaemia than in cells from normal children or adults. For phosphothreonine and phosphoserine phosphatases, there was no significant difference between activities obtained in lymphocytes from normal and leukaemic children.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
