A number of cell surface markers (T200, ThB, Thy1, Lyt1 and Lyt2 and a glycolipid) and enzymes (ATP-ase, acid phosphatase, beta-glucuronidase, 5'-nucleotidase, non-specific esterase, ANAE and chloroacetate esterase) were determined for two murine T-cell lymphomas: the DBA/2-strain-derived SL2 with a phenotype close to that of a mature thymocyte and the GRS-strain-derived GSRL13 with a phenotype of a more primitive thymocyte. While the pattern of expression of the enzymes was similar for SL2 and GRSL13 and as such indistinguishable from that of the majority of thymus cells, the pattern of cell surface antigen expression was clearly different. GRSL12 cells express the ThB antigen and a glycolipid antigen detectable with monoclonal antibody 30-H11, but not Lyt1 and Lyt2 antigens. SL2 cells, however, do not express ThB and the glycolipid antigen, but do express Lyt1 and Lyt2.

Hereditary adenosine deaminase deficiency results in failure of the lymphocyte development. This occurs because of the accumulation of deoxyadenine nucleotides in cells with high deoxycytidine kinase and low 5'-nucleotidase activity. 2-Chlorodeoxyadenosine (2-CdA) resists the action of adenosine deaminase and accumulates in cells with high deoxycytidine kinase and low 5'-nucleotidase activity. It is equally toxic to dividing and nondividing cells and may act by preventing repair of DNA single-strand breaks. In doses of 0.1 mg/kg/day given for seven days 2-CdA manifests low toxicity. It has been found to be effective in the treatment of patients with lymphoid neoplasms, including advanced cutaneous T-cell lymphomas, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphomas, and hairy cell leukemia. In the latter disorder it appears to be as or more effective than the tight-binding adenosine deaminase inhibitor, deoxycoformycin, and is probably less toxic. 2-CdA also appears to be effective in controlling autoimmune hemolytic anemia and shows promise in the treatment of other autoimmune diseases.
