Free Abstract

Appel IM et al. - After administration of one in vivo dose of PEG-asparaginase no changes in apoptotic parameters or in intracellular levels of twenty amino acids in leukemic cells could be measured, in contradiction to the changes found after in vitro exposure. This may be explained by the rapid removal of apoptotic cells from the circulation in vivo. One additional dose of PEG-asparaginase upfront ALL treatment did not lead to other severe toxicities.
