Blood group substance was investigated in serum, cyst fluid and ascites of a patient with mucinous cystadenoma of the ovary. The patient's blood group was A, Le(a-b+), secretor. The serum contained so abnormally large amounts of A substance that it was difficult to determine the ABO blood of the patient's red cells. Using neutralization of anti-A, the ovarian cyst fluid was estimated to contain about 4,000 and 1,500 times as much substance as the serum before removal of the cyst and ascites, respectively. The A substance in serum reverted to a normal level 13 days after removal of the cyst. Gel infiltration analysis of the serum, ascites and ovarian cyst fluid showed the presence of similar A substance with a molecular weight ranging from one to several millions. These data indicate that A substance from the ovarian cyst entered the blood stream, and disappeared from it after the cyst was removed (half-life: 1 day).
