Abstract Treatment of normal human red cells with AET and cysteine, under suitable experimental conditions, modifies them in such a way that their behavior in in vitro hemolysis tests becomes similar to that of the erythrocytes of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. It is felt that alteration of the red cells is due to the -SH groups possessed by both substances. A possible mechanism of action is hypothesized.

Abstract Some enzyme activities of normal human red cells treated with AET and cysteine have been investigated. Treated red cells showed low acetylcholinesterase activity and low O2 uptake in the presence of methylene blue; on the contrary, glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase activity and lactic acid production in the presence of glucose were found to be normal. Results are briefly discussed.

Abstract In the paper by G. Sirchia, S. Ferrone and F. Mercuriali: "The Action of Two Sulfhydryl Compounds on Normal Human Red Cells. Relationship to Red Cells of Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria," published in BLOOD 25:502, 1965, a misprint appears. The first line on page 503 reads "for exactly 19 minutes" instead of "for exactly 9 minutes."

Abstract 1. Treatment of normal human red cells with various proteolytic enzymes, cholera vibrio filtrate, influenza virus, and periodate ion results in red cells susceptible to acid hemolysis in compatible normal human serum. 2. The kinetics of hemolysis of these artificially altered red cells resembles in many respects those observed in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). 3. While the observed differences in behavior between these artificially altered cells and PNH cells do not allow direct comparison, it is felt that these models may offer some clues in the understanding of PNH cell hemolysis, and some insight into the nature of the red cell lesion in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.
