Abstract excerpt
The Aleutian disease (AD), i.e., viral plasmocytosis in mink can be used as a model of the natural development of immune complex pathology in man. The immunogenetic aspect of AD was studied with the help of genetic markers of the constant region of the mink immunoglobulin gamma-heavy chain (the C gamma allotypes H2, H3, H4, H6, H7 and H8). The frequencies of 2 of the 6 allotypes, H3 and H4, were significantly...
