[Phospholipid composition of lymphocytes from normal and leukemic blood, lymph, lymph nodes and spleen of cattle].

The phospholipid composition and cholesterol content of lymphocytes from bovine blood, lymph, lymph-nodes and spleen were studied. The cholesterol/phospholipid molar ratio in the normal lymphocytes of blood and spleen was found to be about two times higher than that in the normal lymphocytes from lymph and lymph-nodes. On lymphocytic leukemia the cholesterol/phospholipid molar ratio of the blood lymphocytes decreased sharply, whereas that in lymph and lymph-nodes lymphocytes was unaffected.
