OBJECTIVE To examine auto-antibodies in the sera of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and investigate the possibility of abnormalities of the immune system in those rats. DESIGN Blood samples were taken from 18-month-old SHR and age-matched Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. The immunoglobulin fraction was prepared from the rat sera.
