AB  - OBJECTIVE: To explore factors in the pathogenesis of multiple myeloma (MM). 
      METHODS: The plasma level of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF alpha) was measured 
      by immunoassay in 21 MM patients, and red cell immunologic function was assayed 
      in 16 patients. RESULTS: There was no difference in TNF alpha levels among 
      patients with either fulminant MM or stable MM and normal controls. The rosette 
      formation rate of red cell C3 bR and red cell immune complex was significantly 
      lower in MM patients than in the controls. CONCLUSION: MM patients might have 
      impaired monocyte-phagocyte system and red cell immune function.
