Abstract: | Interaction between lymphocytes and autologous erythrocytes was discovered in patients with autoimmune diseases. The interaction was manifested macroscopically as hemagglutination and microscopically as rosette formation. Interaction between lymphocytes and autologous erythrocytes was not found in a group of healthy subjects or in patients free from autoimmune disturbances.Laboratory of Immunology, Institute of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, Siberian Division, Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR, Novosibirsk.
