    Ecto-5'-nucleotidase activity in lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from heterozygotes for congenital X-linked agammaglobulinemia.

    Abstract

    Lymphoblastoid cell lines were established from female relatives of patients with congenital X-linked-agammaglobulinemia by Epstein-Barr virus transformation of their peripheral B lymphocytes. Cell lines derived from presumed carriers were characterized by low ecto-5'-nucleotidase activity and a reduced percentage of surface immunoglobulin-bearing cells. Measurement of ecto-5'-nucleotidase activity in newly established lymphoblastoid cell lines may provide a means for the identification of heterozygotes for congenital X-linked agammaglobulinemia.
