Antibodies to the factor present in the homogenate of the organs of minks experimentally infected with aleutian disease (AD) were revealed in the sera of minks with AD and also in the sera of humans suffering from systemic lupus erythematosus, hepatitis and cirrhosis, scleroderma and dermatomyositis. Sera of sick minks and humans failed to interact with control homogenates of the organs of healthy minks. In turn, sera of practically healthy minks and humans did not react with the AD-homogenate.
