摘要: Objectives: Thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) activity, when measured in red blood cells (RBC) with a recently published TPMT activity assay using 6‐thioguanine (6-TG) as substrate, could not be reproduced another laboratory. We investigated factors which influence the results of measurement.
