Rhesus Iso-Immunization

A Typical Case of Iso-Immunization against the Rhesus Factor

Recell iso-antigens of Rhesus monkeys.

Abo Blood Groups and Rh Iso-immunization.

Levine (1943, 1958a, b, 1959) observed that Rh isoimmunization of Rh-negative women was relatively much morecommon inwomen with ABO-compatible husbands than in women with ABO-incompatible husbands. This observation has implications with regard to the incidence of the ABO blood groups in affected families, and certain of these implications were first noted by Lucia and Hunt (1950a, b) in respect...

Induced infertility in cattle by iso-immunization with semen and testis.

Iso-immunization of heifers with bull semen and homogenized testis combined with Freund's complete adjuvant resulted in an induced temporary infertility. Eleven heifers injected intradermally with semen and six heifers with testis required an average of4\m=.\11 and 4\m=.\83 inseminations/conception, respectively, compared with nine control heifers which averaged 1\m=.\11services/conception. Two...

Successful respiratory immunization with dry powder live-attenuated measles virus vaccine in rhesus macaques.

Measles remains an important cause of childhood mortality worldwide. Sustained high vaccination coverage is the key to preventing measles deaths. Because measles vaccine is delivered by injection, hurdles to high coverage include the need for trained medical personnel and a cold chain, waste of vaccine in multidose vials and risks associated with needle use and disposal. Respiratory vaccine del...
