[Venous immunomorphology in acute experimental thrombosis and human recurrent migrating thrombophlebitis]

The direct immunofluorescence procedure was used to demonstrate immune complexes (fixed immunoglobulins) in the internal and external sheath of veins of a dog with experimental acute thrombosis caused by partial ligation of the ileofemoral vein in the presence of immunization of the animal with extracts of auto- and homologous vein tissue. The results suggest the participation of auto-immune processes in the pathogenesis of acute thrombosis of the main veins.
