A correlation between reactions of the sympathoadrenal system and the activity of adenosine transformation enzymes in lymphocytes is demonstrated in the dynamics of metastatic Lewis carcinoma development in C57Bl mice. In the period when metastases arise a decrease in the adenosine deaminase activity in lymphoid cells of the thymus and spleen is accompanied by drop in the content of DOPA, noradrenalin and adrenalin in adrenals. At the late stages of the tumour process a decrease in the amount of these compounds in adrenals is accompanied by the diminution of the adenosine deaminase activity and by an increase in the 5'-nucleotidase activity in the thymus. Contrary changes are observed in spleen lymphocytes. The revealed disturbances may stimulate to a considerable extent the appearance and growth of metastases.

Nerve terminals prepared from rat cortex and hippocampus were loaded with seven radioactive putative neurotransmitters (serotonin, noradrenaline, dopamine, gamma-aminobutyric acid, aspartate, glutamate, and taurine). The release of these transmitters, choline acetyltransferase, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine decarboxylase, enolase, and lactate dehydrogenase was monitored during complement-mediated lysis. Three antisera were used: anti-5'-nucleotidase, anti-Chol-1, and anti-rat cerebrum. Anti-5'-nucleotidase serum did not cause the release of any labelled transmitter or of any of the enzymes studied. Anti-Chol-1 serum released choline acetyltransferase and small amounts of enolase and lactate dehydrogenase. Anti-rat cerebrum caused the release of all seven transmitters, choline acetyltransferase, and small amounts of the other three enzymes. It was concluded that 5'-nucleotidase was not present on any of the terminals studied, and that Chol-1 is only present on cholinergic terminals.
