Abstract
Coombs tests became positive coincident with the development of plasmacytosis in experimentally infected mink. These observations are discussed as possible evidence of an auto-immune phenomenon. Several mechanisms are suggested in which a virus as primary etiologic agent might promote the observed plasmacytosis, hypergammaglobulinemia, and erythrocyte sensitization.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
