Abstract
Sera from cases of anaphylactoid purpura have been examined for precipitating, agglutinating and complement-fixing antibodies against various extracts of normal human artery, kidney and glomeruli and against cell-free arterial reticulin and glomerular basement membrane. The presence of tissue-localizing antibodies was investigated with the fluorescent antibody method.
No conclusive evidence has been found for the presence of circulating tissue antibodies. Such reactions as were observed were non-specific.
