Increased levels of lipid-bound sialic acid in thymic lymphocytes and plasma from leukemic AKR/J mice.

Lipid-bound sialic acid levels for thymic lymphocytes and plasma were elevated twofold in leukemic AKR/J mice as compared to the levels observed in young, nonleukemic mice. In contrast, lipid-bound phosphorus levels were similar for thymic lymphocytes from both groups of mice.
