DNA ligase activity was determined in the WBCs from 306 cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL). In T-ALL cells this activity was either low or absent. DNA analysis by nucleoid, alkaline elution, and alkaline sucrose centrifugation after cells were embedded in agarose inserts has shown more DNA breaks in T- ALL than in ANLL blasts. Phytohemagglutinin stimulation of T-ALL blasts resulted in the apparent joining of the DNA breaks. Apparent identical results can be obtained by the incubation of DNA with exogenous DNA ligase. The authors suggest that this enzyme is a crucially regulated step of replication and subsequent proliferation in this type of leukemia.

The study was prompted by our inability to concentrate phages by a membrane adsorption method effective for polioviruses. Consequently two coliphages, WPK and T4, and F116 of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were tested for their resistance to acid (pH 5.2–3.2) and alkaline (pH 10–11.5) exposures. Only T4 proved acid resistant, allowing for acid adsorption, and only WPK was sufficiently alkaline resistant to allow for alkaline elution. Thus, the differential susceptibility of various phages precludes the use of the acid membrane adsorption–alkaline elution method as a general method for the concentration of phages from large volumes of water.

The alkaline elution procedure developed by Kohn and co-workers was used with the RPMI-6410 cultured human lymphoblastoid cell line to examine the hypothesis that anthracycline-induced DNA strand scission is mediated by oxygen- or superoxide-derived free radicals. Hypoxia was induced by gassing with nitrogen containing 5% carbon dioxide and less than 4 ppm oxygen. Alkaline elution studies showed hypoxia was induced, as the oxygen enhancement ratios for DNA strand breaks was 2.4 and 2.6 for the 250 R ± oxygen and the 500 R ± oxygen (1 R = 2.58 × 10−4 C/kg) experiments, respectively. The pattern of adriamycin-induced DNA strand breaks and cross-linking was not affected by hypoxia with 1-h adriamycin exposures between 0.05 and 1.0 μg/mL. Similarly, 1-h exposures of N-trifluoroacetyladriamycin-14-valerate at 3 or 10 μg/mL gave essentially identical alkaline elution profiles in the presence or absence of oxygen. These results do not support the hypothesis that oxygen-derived radicals play a primary role in anthracycline-induced DNA strand breakage.
