[Lysosomal hydrolase activity during development of experimental leukemia].

Activity of the lysosomal hydrolases DNAase II, acid RNAase and acid phosphatase was studied in the mouse liver and spleen under developing Friend's viral leukemia. The activity of DNAase II in the liver was considerably increased from the 12th day after inoculation of virus-containing material and reached the maximum by the 20th day of the experiment. The activity of acid phosphatase was changed insignificantly while that of acid RNAase showed no deviations from the control level. A possible role of the lysosomal hydrolases in leukemia development is discussed.
