Abstract
The metabolism of gamma G-globulin was studied in 9 patients with chronic lymphatic leukemia and in 7 with chronic myeloid leukemia. The low serum gamma globulin in lymphatic leukemia was due either to hemodilution on account of an increase in plasma volume or to a low production of gamma globulin. In myeloid leukemia the rise in serum concentration was due to increased production. No patient with myeloid leukemia had a decrease in catabolic rate of gamma globulin.
