The activity of ecto-nucleotidases has been determined on intact cells from Burkitt lymphoma (BL) and lymphoblastoid cell lines established in vitro (LCLs). BL cells never express ecto-5'-nucleotidase (5'-N) and exhibit only low levels of ecto-ATPase activity, whereas LCL-cells usually express both
