When HeLa cells were used as the substrate for detection by the indirect immunofluorescence method, antinuclear antibodies were demonstrated in 16 of 22 (72.7%) sera from patients with localized scleroderma. When mouse kidney sections were used, the positive rate for antinuclear antibodies was 50% (

## Abstract Materials with the Clq binding properties of soluble immune complexes (IC) were found in sera from 11 of 51 consecutive (22%) children with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) and in 17 of 20 adults with active seroβpositive rheumatoid arthritis (RA). IC appeared more frequently in chil
In 79 patients with leprosy a significant increase of anti-extractable nuclear antigen (ENA) antibodies and circulating immune complexes (CIC) was found. No correlation between CIC and anti-ENA antibodies was demonstrable. Since such a correlation is known from antinuclear antibodies and CIC in pati
