Abstract excerpt
The expression of arylamine N-acetyltransferase (NAT) in leukocytes was investigated using p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) and sulfamethazine (SMZ), substrates which are preferentially acetylated by the monomorphic NAT1 and polymorphic NAT2 enzymes, respectively. Activity towards both substrates was detected in mononuclear leukocytes (MNL; preparation containing approximately 80% lymphocytes), monocytes and...
