title: Circulating immune complexes and autoantibodies in canine leishmaniasis.
abstract: In sera of 35 dogs with generalised leishmaniasis elevated levels of circulating immune complexes were detected by the 125I-C1q binding test. Furthermore, anti-heart muscle and anti-smooth muscle antibodies were detected by an indirect immunofluorescence technique in sera of infected dogs.
