Adenosine as a prostaglandin antagonist. Possible mechanism of the defect in combined immunodeficiency disease due to adenosine deaminase deficiency
Res Commun Chem Pathol Pharmacol 1978; 19(1): 181-4.


Abstract

Adenosine inhibition of cell division in EB-virus-transformed human lymphocytes and in normal lymphocytes stimulated by phytohemagglutinin can be overcome by prostaglandin (PG) E2. Analysis of adenosine/PGE2 interactions in smooth muscle suggests that adenosine causes immuno-deficiency by blocking a PG-dependent calcium stage of lymphocyte activation.
