Phosphomonoester concentrations differ between chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells and normal human lymphocytes.

Levels of phospholipid-related metabolites of chronic lymphocytic leukemia lymphocytes (CLL) and normal human lymphocytes were quantified using phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The CLL cells versus normal lymphocytes showed significant increases of phosphoethanolamine(Etn-P) (8.11+/-2.
