Occurrence of cold lymphocytotoxins has been observed in 59 leprosy sera. In 46% of the patients, cold lymphocytotoxins were present whereas in helathy controls only 13% showed such antibodies. The highest incidence of alloantibodies was detected in lepromatous leprosy. Levels of autoantibodies, immunoglobulins and C3 were tested in parallel without finding any significnat correlations.
