Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine asparaginase is used in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It depletes plasma asparagine and glutamine, killing leukemic lymphoblasts but also causing immunosuppression. Asparaginase reduces maturing populations of normal B and T cells in thymus, bone marrow, and spleen of mice. Oral consumption of alanyl-glutamine mitigates metabolic stress in spleen, supporting the peripheral immune system and cell-mediated immunity during asparaginase chemotherapy Escherichia coli
