abstract：:Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), an onco-fetal protein which binds specifically polyunsaturated fatty acids, has been shown to modulate arachidonic acid metabolism in a human T-cell line. In Jurkat lymphoma cells, AFP decreases the synthesis of prostaglandins and increases the release of arachidonic acid and leukotrienes. The...
