Abstract
Antibodies against a factor present in a homogenate of the organs of mink experimentally infected with Aleutian disease (AD) were found in the sera of mink with AD and also in the sera of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, various forms of hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver, scleroderma, and dermatomyositis. The sera of affected mink and patients did not interact with a control homogenate of the organs of healthy mink. In turn, the sera of clinically healthy mink and human subjects did not react with the AD homogenate.
