Abstract
Free DNA and various types of anti-DNA antibodies were determined in the blood serum and plasma of mink spontaneously developing Aleutian disease (AD) or infected experimentally with it. The control group consisted of healthy mink and other animals: arctic and ordinary foxes and sable. Characteristically the experimental group of animals had a higher frequency of discovery of anti-DNA antibodies of types 2 and 3 in high titers (1∶80-1∶2560). In addition, free polymer DNA was found more frequently in the experimental group of animals.
