Erythropoiesis inhibitor in a patient with hereditary spherocytosis
The studies dealt with the effect of plasma of a patient with congenital haemolytic anaemia on the erythropoiesis in mice. The materials included the plasma from the patient before and after splenctomy and the spleen homogenate and the spleen subcellular fractions. The effect of the materials was evaluated with the amount of the 59Fe taken up by the erythrocytes of the mice. The erythropoiesis was found to be inhibited by the plasma before splenectomy and by the spleen homogenate and its subcellular fractions. The inhibition was the highest in cases when the mice was given the spleen homogenates previously incubated with plasma of healthy persons.
