Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The removal of O6-methylguanine by human lymphoid cells corresponded, with certain assumptions, to a second-order chemical reaction in any given cell. There was a spectrum of proficiency in this respect for a considerable number of cells originating from different individuals and it was found that patients with diseases associated with autoimmunity tended to fall into the less proficient groups. E-B virus-induced lymphoid cell lines, derived from proficient, but not relatively deficient, peripheral blood lymphocytes, always (in 9/9 cases) reflected the level of proficiency of the donor lymphocytes with respect to removal of O6-methylguanine. Thus while proficient lymphocytes always produced proficient cell lines, deficient lymphocytes, in 3/8 cases, gave rise to more proficient cell lines. No evidence was found that groups of individuals exist who lack ability to remove 3-methyladenine from DNA, either from their blood lymphocytes or derived lymphoid cell lines.
