Pattern of isoaccepting transfer RNAs common to 26 patients with Hodgkin's disease. 1982

T L Murphy, and I A Cooper

The elution profiles of aminoacyl transfer RNAs from Hodgkin's tumors have been compared with the corresponding patterns from normal splenic tissue. Aminohexyl-Sepharose and reversed-phase 5 chromatography have been used in the fractionation studies. Three peaks of acceptor activity have been observed in phenylalanyl, histidyl, aspartyl, and asparaginyl transfer RNAs. A second peak was shown in the case of tyrosyl and methionyl transfer RNAs. Seryl transfer RNA showed no change in elution profile; namely, a single species was observed in both normal and tumor transfer RNAs. These observations are confirmation that Hodgkin's disease is a malignant disease. The uniformity of the extra species of tRNA suggests that there is a commonly occurring aberration in the cell of origin of the Hodgkin's tumor.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D002845	Chromatography	Techniques used to separate mixtures of substances based on differences in the relative affinities of the substances for mobile and stationary phases. A mobile phase (fluid or gas) passes through a column containing a stationary phase of porous solid or liquid coated on a solid support. Usage is both analytical for small amounts and preparative for bulk amounts.	Chromatographies
D006689	Hodgkin Disease	A malignant disease characterized by progressive enlargement of the lymph nodes, spleen, and general lymphoid tissue. In the classical variant, giant usually multinucleate Hodgkin's and REED-STERNBERG CELLS are present; in the nodular lymphocyte predominant variant, lymphocytic and histiocytic cells are seen.
