Abstract

Resealed ghost of red blood cells (RBCs) from advanced cancer patients includes proteins with antigenicities common to an anemia-inducing substance that we separated from plasma of patients with advanced malignant neoplasms. Although cation influx in vitro in RBCs from a cancer patient is larger than that from a normal healthy volunteer, an antibody against anemia-inducing substance inhibited the in vitro cation influx in RBCs from the cancer patient. Activation of the cation influx with N-ethylmaleimide after reaction with the antibody reversed the effect to create a greater cation influx in RBCs from the patient, as compared with that from the healthy volunteer.
