Summary
Serologic reactions using formalinized erythrocytes sensitized with DNA were used to establish the presence of antibodies to monospiral DNA in the sera of healthy persons and various species of test animals. It was shown on the example of the guinea pig sera that the titer of antibodies increased with the age of animals. The above-mentioned antibodies were neutralized by formaldehyde concentrations of 0.2% and higher.
