| Abstract: | ![]()
Circulating immune complexes were detected by the immunoelectrophoretic method in 18 of 29 (62 per cent) of patients with systemic scleroderma. The presence of immune complexes did not correlate with that of antinuclear antibodies to dsDNA, DNP, RNP, and Sm. The mean levels of immunoglobulins G, A, and M as well as of C3 were significantly higher in patients with systemic scleroderma than in blood donors. |
