Abstract
Purine nucleoside phosphorylase deficient severe combined immunodeficiency (PNP SCID) is one of the rare autosomal recessive primary immunodeficiency disease, and the data on epidemiology and outcome are limited. We report the successful management of a child with PNP SCID and present a systematic literature review of published case reports, case series, and cohort studies on PNP SCID listed in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus from 1975 until March 2022. Forty-one articles were included from the 2432 articles retrieved and included 100 PNP SCID patients worldwide. Most patients presented with recurrent infections, hypogammaglobulinaemia, autoimmune manifestations, and neurological deficits. There were six reported cases of associated malignancies, mainly lymphomas. Twenty-two patients had undergone allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with full donor chimerism seen mainly in those receiving matched sibling donors and/or conditioning chemotherapy before the transplant. This research provides a contemporary, comprehensive overview on clinical manifestations, epidemiology, genotype mutations, and transplant outcome of PNP SCID. These data highlight the importance of screening for PNP SCID in cases presented with recurrent infections, hypogammaglobulinaemia, and neurological deficits.

Abstract
Human purine nucleoside phosphorylase (HsPNP) catalyzes reversible phosphorolysis of nucleosides and deoxynucleosides in the purine cascade. HsPNP has been a target on behalf of the development of new leads for the treatment of a variety of T-cell mediated disorders. Several studies on the HsPNP are focused on the identification of effective, safe, and selective inhibitors. Therefore, this study describes the development of direct, simple, reliable, and inexpensive enzymatic assays to screen HsPNP inhibitors. Initially, HsPNP was covalently immobilized on the surface of magnetic particles (MPs). Due to the versatility of the MPs as solid support for enzyme immobilization, two different methods to monitor the enzyme activity are presented. Firstly, the activity of HsPNP-MPs was assessed offline by HPLC-DAD quantifying the formed hypoxanthine. Then, HsPNP-MPs were trapped in a peek tube, furnishing a microreactor which was inserted on-flow in an HPLC-DAD system to monitor the enzyme activity by the hypoxanthine quantification. Kinetic assays provided KMapp values for the inosine substrate of 488.2 ± 49.1 and 1084 ± 111 µM for the offline and on-flow assays, respectively. For the first time, kinetic studies for Pi as substrate using the HsPNP-MPs exhibits a Michaelis-Menten kinetic, yielding KMapp values for offline and on-flow of 521.2 ± 62.9 µM and 601 ± 66.5 µM, respectively. Inhibition studies conducted with a fourth generation immucillin derivative (DI4G) were employed as proof of concept to validate the use of the HsPNP-MPs assays for screening purposes. Additionally, a small library containing 11 compounds was used to assess the selectivity of the developed assays. The results showed that both presented assays can be applied to selectively recognizing and characterizing HsPNP inhibitors. Particularly, the on-flow method exhibited a high throughput and performance because of its automation and represents an easy and practical approach to reuse the HsPNP-MPs. Besides, this novel enzyme activity assay model can be further applied to other biological targets.

Abstract
Purine analogues have been shown to be active in a variety of B- and T-cell malignancies. Among them, pentostatin is also a tight binding inhibitor of adenosine deaminase (ADA), a key enzyme of purine metabolism. ADA is present in all human tissues, with the highest levels in the lymphoid system. Early clinical trials with pentostatin used high doses for acute lymphoblastic leukemias, which were characterized by high levels of ADA. Through the efforts of a few investigators, low-dose regimens that are active and well tolerated for indolent lymphoid malignancies have been developed. Myelosuppressive adverse effects have been shown to be minimal using these schedules. Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LL) is an indolent chronic B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder moderately responsive to alkylating agents. All of the purine analogues have shown activity in LL. However, the advantage of pentostatin over the other agents is the relatively specific toxicity to lymphoid cells and the paucity of myelosuppression as a single agent. No direct comparisons of the agents have been investigated, although pentostatin may be considered to be preferred since it has not been associated with toxicity to myeloid progenitors in colony assays. This is of significance for patients who might benefit from high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation.

Abstract
Pentostatin has been shown to be active in a variety of B- and T-cell malignancies. The drug is a tight inhibitor of adenosine deaminase, a key degradative enzyme of purine metabolism present in all human tissues, with the highest levels found in the lymphoid system. Early clinical trials indicated that this agent was highly active in acute lymphoblastic leukemias with high intracellular adenosine deaminase levels. Relatively high doses of the drug were needed, which was associated with severe adverse events. Through the efforts of a few investigators, better tolerated, low-dose regimens have been shown to be extremely active in lymphoproliferative diseases with very low intracellular adenosine deaminase levels such as hairy cell leukemia, B- and T-cell chronic leukemias, T-cell cutaneous lymphomas and low-grade non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Clinical as well as experimental data have indicated that this drug induces lymphocyte-specific cytotoxicity, and myelosuppressive adverse events have been minimal. Although all the purine analogs have shown similar activity, the advantage of pentostatin is the relatively specific cytotoxicity against lymphocytes, which permits treatment even in patients with severe cytopenias. Although no direct comparisons of the purine analogs have been performed, pentostatin may be preferred due to this property.

Abstract
In order to obtain a better understanding of the degree of immune dysfunctions caused by the absence of adenosine deaminase, we gave a single i.p. injection of 2'-deoxycoformycin (2-dcf), a potent inhibitor of the enzyme ADA at various doses into adult Syrian hamsters. These animals were examined for their ability to mount primary in vivo antibody responses to helper T cell dependent (Th-d) and helper T cell independent (Th-ind) antigens. Hamsters treated with 0.5 mg/kg of 2-dcf mounted enhanced splenic plaque-forming cell (PFC) responses to sheep erythrocytes, a Th-d antigen, and to pneumococcal polysaccharide type III (SIII), a Th-ind antigen. Treatment of animals with 1.0 mg/kg of 2-dcf resulted in a significantly depressed (P less than 0.001) PFC response to Th-d antigen, but a further enhanced response to Th-ind antigen. One mechanism which may be responsible for such a dichotomous response to these two types of antigens was selective dysfunction of T cell subpopulations. At higher doses (1.5-4.0 mg/kg), PFC responses to both types of antigens were significantly suppressed. Immunoenhancement at low doses of 2-def was attributed to an increased susceptibility of T suppressor cells to 2-dcf. This hypothesis was confirmed by priming the 2-dcf-treated animals with low-dose Th-ind antigens. These animals failed to induce low-dose tolerance by stimulation of antigen-specific suppressor T cell subsets. At low doses, B cells and T helper cell functions were found to be intact, as further confirmed by priming the animals with the carrier keyhole limpet haemocyanin (KLH) and challenging with trinitrophenyl-KLH. This dose-dependent selective susceptibility of various T cell subpopulations and B cells may explain the heterogeneity of clinical, biochemical and immunological parameters observed in children with ADA deficiency severe combined immunodeficiency.

Abstract
A few enzymes of the purine degradative pathway have proved valuable in diagnosis and treatment of lymphomas and lymphocytic leukemia. Of particular interest are the enzymes adenosine deaminase (ADA), purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) and ecto-5'-nucleotidase (5NT). Intact activities of ADA and PNP have been shown to be vital for lymphoid cells. During development, lymphoid precursors go through remarkable changes in the concentrations of these enzymes and the neoplasms derived from them show a "frozen" biochemical profile similar to the corresponding normal cell of origin. Knowledge of the role of these enzymes has led to the pharmacological use of enzyme inhibitors for the specific treatment of lymphoid neoplasms. This review concerns the enzymatic make-up of normal and neoplastic lymphocytes and exploitation of this knowledge for the treatment of lymphomas. Special emphasis will be put on the clinical use of an ADA-inhibitor, deoxycoformycin.

Abstract
Recent advances in analysis of leukemic cell phenotypes using cell surface markers have provided important insights into leukocyte differentiation and the cellular origin of leukemia. In addition to the traditional cell surface markers, i.e., surface membrane immunoglobulin and receptors for sheep erythrocytes that define B and T lymphocytes, highly specific monoclonal antibodies have been developed that discriminate various stages of human lymphocyte and granulocyte differentiation. Explorations of the detailed phenotypes of leukemic cells in relation to normal hemopoietic differentiation reveal that consistent, composite phenotypes of different subclasses of lymphoid malignancies closely mimic those of corresponding normal cells at equivalent levels of maturation. This is exemplified in lymphoma cells (chronic lymphocytic leukemia of B or T type, Sezary Syndrome, immunocytoma) that resemble mature and immunocompetent T and B cells, in T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) (equivalent to thymus cells) and in non-T ALL (corresponding to lymphoid progenitor cells in the bone marrow). The major phenotypes documented in different leukemias represent the level of maturation arrest imposed on the dominant subclone; this is determined by, but not necessarily synonymous with, the target cell and associated clonogenic cell population in the leukemia. The clinical significance of immunodiagnosis of leukemia cell types becomes best evidenced in acute leukemias. Besides the improvement of diagnosis by using objective criteria, clinically useful subclassifications became evident: five major subtypes of ALL are now recognized, including unclassified or null ALL, common ALL, pre-B-ALL, B-ALL and pre-T/T-ALL. In addition to disclosing that ALL is an heterogeneous disease, such classifications have proved to be prognostically significant. This is exemplified in 248 children and 145 adults with ALL which were analysed for cell type and clinical data. In addition to their utility in leukemia classification, monoclonal antibodies that identify leukemia associated antigens are becoming used therapeutically, e.g., to lyse residual leukemia cells from remission bone marrows removed from leukemia patients before reinfusion. New approaches to the treatment of leukemia in which the objective is to encourage maturation of leukemia cells rather than to achieve leukemia eradication, can be monitored by phenotyping the alterations of the cell surface, and cell markers may hopefully be useful in identifying cell types that can be induced to differentiate.

Abstract
The isolation of a cDNA clone containing the complete coding region for human purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) has been described previously. In this report we present the nucleotide sequence of this cDNA clone and compare the derived amino acid sequence, encoding a protein of 32 kilodaltons, with the published amino acid composition. Using a fragment of the cDNA clone as a probe, human PNP genomic clones from a bacteriophage lambda library have been isolated and the structural organization of the wild type PNP gene determined.

Abstract
Recently, much attention has been focused on various enzyme alterations found in leukemic cells. Most of the data generated thus far has involved the study of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase, the purine pathway enzymes, and hexosaminidase and other lysosomal enzymes. Differences in both total enzyme activities and isoenzyme patterns have been found to occur among the various leukemia types and subtypes. These changes may prove to be useful aids in diagnosing, classifying, detecting subclinical recurrent or residual disease, and as therapeutic determinants in hematopoietic neoplasia, especially in the lymphoid malignancies.

Abstract
Immunologic and metabolic abnormalities were studied in a five year old boy with 0.07 per cent of normal erythrocyte purine nucleoside phosphorylase activity. The clinical course is characterized by severe autoimmune hemolytic anemia, a transient neurologic disorder with tremor and ataxia, and minor infectious illnesses. There is severe lymphopenia with decreased absolute numbers of T and B lymphocytes. Mitogen-stimulated blastogenesis is reduced, but response to allogeneic lymphocytes is normal. A monoclonal IgG protein is present. There is hypouricemia, elevated plasma inosine level, hypouricosuria and an increase in the urinary concentration of inosine and guanosine. The pattern of heterozygote distribution in the patient's family is compatible with an autosomal recessive trait in which heterozygotes are identifiable. In addition, the unusual laboratory and clinical manifestations of this patient illustrate the heterogeneity of the clinical syndrome associated with purine nucleoside phosphorylase deficiency.
