Transplacental passage of anti-s antibody without haemolysis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The production of anti-s antibodies during pregnancy is a rare event and usually causes haemolysis of fetal red cells. A case is presented where an IgG anti-s antibody crossed the placenta, but did not produce any evidence of haemolysis.

Prevalence and Haemolytic Significance of Red Cell Antibodies among Dangerous Universal Donors in a Tertiary Care Hospital in South India
Background and Aims: A subgroup of group O individuals called ‘dangerous universal donors’ have immune (IgG) anti A and anti B antibodies which are active at 37˚C and capable of reacting with the red cells and causing lysis. The aim of this study was to find the prevalence of dangerous O group among the voluntary donor population and to assess the relation between the degree of haemolysis and t...
متن کاملInvestigating the Complications of Transplacental Needle Passage in Amniocentesis
Background and purpose: Amniocentesis is the most commonly used method for diagnosis of aneuploid and other genetic disorders of the fetus. Cautious should be taken when entering the amniocentesis needle to avoid entering the placenta. The purpose of this study was to investigate the consequences of needle transposition from the placenta during amniocentesis. Materials and methods: In a cohort...
متن کاملTransplacental passage of insulin complexed to antibody.
The passage of plasma proteins across the placental barrier in humans is known to be highly selective. Thus, free maternal insulin has been reported not to cross the normal maternofetal barrier, although insulin-binding antibodies have been detected in newborn infants whose diabetic mothers received insulin therapy. In this report we demonstrate, with the use of a human antiserum that permits d...
متن کاملTransplacental Transmission of Homotransplantation Antibodies
Pregnant rabbits were sensitized to unrelated does by skin transplantation. The offspring of these sensitized animals rejected skin from the same donor in a markedly accelerated fashion. The transplacental passage of agents responsible for homograft rejection is therefore suggested. Since accelerated rejection rather than enhancement occurred, more than the usual humoral antibodies must have be...
متن کاملSeroprevalence of Bordetella pertussis antibodies in mothers and their newborn infants.
BACKGROUND Pertussis is a highly communicable, vaccine-preventable respiratory disease. Although the largest number of reported cases is among young infants, the most rapidly increasing incidence in the USA is in adolescents and young adults. Importantly, adult family members are the likely major reservoir, infecting susceptible infants before completion of childhood vaccination. We studied mat...
