Notes:
Abstract It was shown by the indirect immunofluorescence method that normal human and rabbit sera, and also IgG isolated from them can react intensively with human and bovine heart valve fibroblasts. Investigations with the Fab and Fc fragments of IgG suggest that this reaction may take place because of the Fc fragments of the IgG molecule and that it is connected with the presence of an Fc receptor on heart valve fibroblasts.
