M N Blinov, and A D Vladimirova, and I S Luganova

Low-polymer nuclear RNA (1) of lymphocytes was studied comparatively in healthy individuals and patients with lympholeukemia. In 7.5% polyacrylamid gel both in normal lymphocytes and their leukemic analogs 9 fractions were identified which possess similar electrophoretic mobility. The correlation of separate fractions 1 in pathological lymphocytes was shown to differ from that in lymphocytes of healthy donors. The study of the metabolic activity 1 indicated that one of the fractions (D) is metabolically inert under conditions of a 1-hour label, while in normal lymphocytes one fraction was revealed, whereas in chronic lympholeukemia--two fractions being recorded only by their radioactivity.

D007945	Leukemia, Lymphoid	Leukemia associated with HYPERPLASIA of the lymphoid tissues and increased numbers of circulating malignant LYMPHOCYTES and lymphoblasts.

D008214	Lymphocytes	White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS.	Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
D008970	Molecular Weight	The sum of the weight of all the atoms in a molecule.	Molecular Weights,Weight, Molecular,Weights, Molecular
D002467	Cell Nucleus	Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed)	Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell

D012313	RNA	A polynucleotide consisting essentially of chains with a repeating backbone of phosphate and ribose units to which nitrogenous bases are attached. RNA is unique among biological macromolecules in that it can encode genetic information, serve as an abundant structural component of cells, and also possesses catalytic activity.
