The immunization with incompatible blood groups substances of the ABO system yielded distinct increases in the isohemagglutinin titers and their scores in 16 patients suffering from systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) and in 16 controls. The difference between these two groups was not statistically significant, which suggests an intact humoral immunological reactivity of these antigens. However, investigations with further antigens would be necessary to judge the immunological factors supposed to be involved in the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis. The method may be recommended for testing the humoral immunological response in similar problems.
