Table 1.

Total variances of the self-reactive antibody repertoires of IgM of patients with WAIHA and healthy blood donors

Tissue Extract Total Variance of Repertoires of Reactivity of IgM
Patients With WAIHAHealthy Blood Donors
Kidney  323.8  367.2  
Liver 265.0  246.6  
Stomach  440.8  206.5  
RBC extracts 51.4  84.6  
RBC membranes  460.0  240.0 
Tissue Extract Total Variance of Repertoires of Reactivity of IgM
Patients With WAIHAHealthy Blood Donors
Kidney  323.8  367.2  
Liver 265.0  246.6  
Stomach  440.8  206.5  
RBC extracts 51.4  84.6  
RBC membranes  460.0  240.0 

Total variances of repertoires of antibody reactivities of IgM in whole plasma with self-antigens in extracts of kidney, liver, stomach, RBCs, and in RBC membranes were calculated separately in a 40- to 60-dimension vector space, depending on the tissue extract. None of the differences between total variances were significant as assessed by the F test.
