A study was made of the incidence of antibodies to bispiral synthetic polynucleotide (poly E, poly C). In patients with allergoses and in healthy persons antibodies to bispiral RNA were revealed in 14% of cases, in patients with rheumatism--in 40.9% and with rheumatoid arthritis--in 50% of cases. It is supposed that more frequent detection of antibodies to bispiral RNA in patients with rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis is associated with persistence of the RNA-containing viruses.
