Polyamine concentrations in bone marrow aspirates of children with leukemia
and other malignancies
O Rennert, T Miale, J Shukla, D Lawson and J Frias
High-pressure liquid chromatography analysis of polyamines in bone narrow
from leukemic and nonleukemic subjects demonstrated increased
concentrations of putrescine, spermidine, and spermine associated with
increased cellularity. The most striking abnormality was the marked
elevation of putrescine. Bone marrow polyamine analysis may be an adjunct
for evaluation of leukemia patients.
