Immunological studies with aortic and venous tissue antigens. II. Antibodies to vascular antigens.
In the sera of patients with different clinical manifestations of arteriosclerosis antibodies were demonstrated against the CTC-extract in about 50 p. 100 of the cases. Using venous CTC-extracts positive results were obtained in patients with phlebothrombosis in 70 p. 100 of the cases. Cross reactions between the aortic and venous tissues were not detected.
