Studies of receptors on normal and malignant tissue from man

Receptor studies on normal and malignant human tissues were carried out. Erythrocyte receptor studies failed to show differences between malignant and normal tissues; both apparently have a receptor for rat erythrocytes, a hemolysin for monkey erythrocytes, and an agglutinin for rabbit erythrocytes. Fc receptors were found in several malignant tissues and only an occasional normal tissue, except for a patient who died of sepsis.
