[Cytochemical characteristics of nucleic acids in the peripheral blood lymphocytes of patients with multiple sclerosis].

DNA and RNA was determined with the aid of cyto-chemical methods in lymphocytes of the peripheral blood of 101 patients with disseminated sclerosis. Changes of the DNA were not found. Quite possibly, the increase of cyto-chemical indices of RNA in the lymphocytes of such patients depends upon the reactivity of the organism the degree of its sensitization and activity of the pathological process.
