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.
