Abstract
Attempts to demonstrate specific serum antibody or immune complexes in the brains of mink affected with transmissible mink encephalopathy were unsuccessful with serum neutralization and immunofluorescent procedures. These data may be significant, considering the unusual nature of the disease and the biochemical properties of the etiological agent.
