Pyrimidine-5'-nucleotidase deficiency appears to be an important cause of hemolytic anemia associated with basophilic stippling of the red cells. A new radiometric method for the assay of this enzyme has been developed. In this technique, 14C-CMP serves as substrate. The CMP which is not dephosphorylated to cytidine is bound to the barium sulfate precipitate which forms in the deproteinization process. The cytidine remains in solution and is counted. The method is simple and reproducible and can be carried out on large numbers of samples. Two patients with pyrimidine-5'-nucleotidase deficiency have been detected by means of this technique.

A mouse spleen cell/plasmacytoma fusion designed to generate hybridomas making monoclonal antibodies to human lymphocyte 5'-nucleotidase yielded three hybridomas secreting material which inhibited about 50% of human and mouse lymphocyte ecto 5'-nucleotidase activity. The inhibition proved not to be due to antibody but to material of molecular weight 44,000 +/- 7,000 which was not part of an immunoglobulin molecule, although it may be related to a B cell Fc gamma receptor. In a haemolytic plaque assay this material inhibited the production of IgG but not IgM antibody by spleen cells of mice immunized with dinitrophenylated keyhole limpit haemocyanin. By contrast, IgG production by pokeweed mitogen-stimulated human tonsillar lymphocytes (assessed by reverse haemolytic plaque assay) was partially inhibited only by ascitic fluid of one of the hybridomas. The factor was called BAN (B cell anti 5'-nucleotidase). The suppressive action of BAN on IgG production was blocked by antibodies against 5'-nucleotidase suggesting that the lymphocyte enzyme may be acting as a BAN receptor.
