[Results of a comparative study of anti-brain antibodies in the sera of healthy subjects and schizophrenic patients by the Coon's indirect immunofluorescent method].

With the aid of the Coombs indirect method the authors studied the blood sera of 79 patients with different forms of schizophrenia and 27 normal donors. It was demonstrate that the blood sera of schizophrenic patients and normals contain globulins capable of fixation on different components of a nervous cell. However, the character and intensity of fluorescence as well as the amount of fluorescent nerve cells in the field of vision distinguishes the examined patients from normal donors.
