Values shown (nmol/h/mg extract protein) have been corrected by subtracting activity resistant to the specific ADA inhibitor deoxycoformycin (90%-99% of ADA activity in patient cells was inhibited).

F3-150

ADA activities (mean ± SD) for normal (control) PBL, IL-2-dependent T cells, and EBV-B LCLs are published values for this laboratory.20 57 The control for the HTLV-T LCL is for a single cell line (mean of two determinations).
