Pre-eclampsia in pregnancies by different fathers: immunological studies.

摘要: Immunological studies were performed on a woman with severe pre-eclamptic toxaemia in second pregnancy. This pregnancy followed normal twin by different father four years earlier. Both fathers also studied. In the mixed lymphocyte culture patient9s lymphocytes reacted eight times as strongly against 29s cells those from 1. If along these lines are when women has toxaemic and non-toxaemic pregnancies information may be obtained immunogenetic aetiological factors which of more value than that derived study large unselected populations.
