U, nmol hr-1 per mg protein; PNP, purine nucleoside phosphorylase.
CD34+ cells from the bone marrow of a normal donor were transduced with the LN retroviral vector and grown in CFU-GM assay with 0.9 mg ml-1 G418.
T lymphocytes were cultured by a modification of Arredondo-Vega31; blood mononuclear cells were grown for 2 days in RPMI 1640, 15% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum containing 5 μg ml-1 PHA, then in medium lacking PHA, containing 50 U ml-1 IL-2. After 10–14 days, 107 cells were harvested for enzyme assay.
dUnder treatment with PEG-ADA, but not with ADA-transduced cells.
