abstract="An increased spiperone binding capacity in lymphocytes has been proposed as a possible biological marker for schizophrenia while in previous studies patients with alcohol dependence were shown to have a normal binding capacity. In a pilot study the spiperone binding capacity was studied in 8 patients with alcohol hallucinosis, 11 patients with acute drug-induced psychosis and 12 patients with other organic psychosis. An increased binding capacity, defined as > 4 fmol/l E6 cells, was found in only 1 patient with alcohol hallucinosis, 3 patients with drug-induced psychosis and 2 patients with other organic psychosis. Possible implications of these findings for future research are discussed.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
