Attending Physician Cook County Hospital and VV. T. MEFFORD, M. D. CHICAGO ln 1802 Nfaragliarioldirected attention to the fact that the blood serums of patients 'lmicted with various diseases exerted a destructive influence on the blood corpuscles of healthy individuals, and also on the corpascles of pathologic cases and set free hematoidin. He expressed the opinion that the reduc- tion in sodium chlorid in the blood in different conditions of disease was a factor in the solution of red cells. This appeais to be the first observation on isolysins OT human serums. Ehrlich and Morgerirothz demonstrated that the blood serums of goats that had been immunized by homologous blood corpuscles contained 1solysins,'the serums of the immunized goats being hemolytic for the corpuscles of other goats. Von Dungernj' on the other hand, found that the serums of guinea-pigs that had been immunized with the tracheal epithelia of cattle was not only destructive to the tracheal epithelia of the latter, but also exhibited an hemolytic influence on the blood corpuscles of cattle. Landsteinerf in 1890, showed that human serums often agglutinated human corpuscles. He found this phenomenon of agglutination especially marked in the blood or diseased individuals. The first extensive clinical application of the phenomena observed by Nlaragliano and Landsteiner was made by Ascoli5 who examined seventeen normal persons and ninety-seven patients for isohemolsins and isoagglutinins. He employed in his technic a mixttue of equal parts of serum and of blood corpuscle suspension. He used a 2M per cent suspension of blood corpuscles for the hemolytic reaction and one- half of this for the agglutination reaction, the serums for the latter being employed in different dilutions. His controls consisted of suspensions ofthe blood corpuscles in salt solution., He found the agglutinating power of the serums of healthv individuals hardly observed in a higher than a I to IO dilution of their serums,wh1le1n pathologic cond1t1ons1t was often found in much higher dilution In the examination of normal bloods hemolysls was in most cases 'ml In a very few he had observed a trace of solution and in rare cases a slight solution of red cells had occurred as indicated bx the rose color of the fluid after s1nk1ng of the cells In the examination of the serums of pathologic cases with relation to hemolysins he found nega 1 results with 5 cases of chlorsls 'P of infection with Anchyloftoma duodmalf of I abscess, 3 of acute rheu mattsm 3 of exudative pleurisy, several of bronchitis several of acute and chronic gastritis 0 of lead POlSOf111'1g, I of acute and 2 of chronic nephritis On the other hand he found strong isoagglutlnating and isohemolytic properties in the serums of two patients with carcinoma of the stomach a probable Addlson s disease ,and a multiple pneumococcuS infection He examined chiefly cases of penumonia typhoid and tuberculosis ln tuberculosis he had observed the serums able to dissolve erythrocytes and also to agglutinate them in a greater dilution than did normal serums He also noticed marked lSOlXt1C properties of the blood serums of pneumonia patients He states that isoagglutinins and isolysms are not to be found constant in the diseases mentioned and that it was advisable to allou serum to act on the blood cor puscle suspension of different individuals as the isolvsins are not actne against the erx throes tes of every one from the experiments of Bordet Ehrlich and hfloxgenroth von Dungern Ascoli etc it was ex ident that inoculation mth the cells of 'tn homologous or heterologous species or as might be expected xx 1th tumor growth would give rise to the formation of isoly sins in the 1I11I'l1Ul'1ll6d individual or animal VVe1l obserx ed this pecul aiitv of the serum of tumor dogs for ersthrocytis of normal dogs H examined a number of patients suffering from cancer etc and observed the same phenomenon Cr1le7BlumgartenS and WV1ttemore9 have also reported on this peculiar property of the serums of patients sufferlng from cancer tuberculosis etc the technic emplox ed bs them being practicalli the same as that recommended bs Landsteiner Ascoli etc 1 Maragllfmo Velhandl d xx Con f inn Bled Ielpzl 1892 Deutsch med VVchnschr 1892 'uni 411 9 Ehrlich and hlor enroth Berl llm Wchnsehr 1900 p 37 3Yon Dun ein Munchen med Wchselir 1899 xlxi 1198 4 Landstelnel Centralbl f Balteriol 1900 xxvu 356 5 Aseoll llunehen med Welinschr 1901 xlxui 1239 0 VVe1l Observfitlons on the Hemolytie Reactlons of the Blood in Do s -kffected u ith Tiansplantable Lympho sarcoma Cabstrj Ra! fthe Tournrtl -X M A Iftn 4 1908 1 6-1 Page IQ3 n A . . 7 , C ' , 7 .i , . . . . . . dx A 1 , . 1 I ' - 1 ,H , n 1 7 1 1 1 ' J . . . . , . .
