Foci of recent cell death were identified in 10 consecutive cases of Huntington's disease in the caudate nucleus and putamen. Indirect immunohistochemical staining procedures were performed on these areas and controls using fluorescein conjugated anti-globulin and peroxidase-conjugated anti-globulin. Positive results were found when human antiserum to Cytomegalovirus was used. The possibility of abnormal antigen presence within the dying neurons in this disease is discussed.
