Abstract

An IgM antibody cytotoxic to normal human lymphocytes was found in 46.2% (male: 61.5%; female: 30.8%) of sera from chronic schizophrenics by means of a complement-dependent cytotoxicity test. The relationship between this antibody and the immunological manifestations of schizophrenia is discussed.
