Mechanisms of isoimmunization. II. Transplacental passage and postnatal survival of fetal erythrocytes in heterospecific pregnancies.
K NOWLEDGE CONCERNING the transpiacental passage of fetal erythrocytes into the maternal circulation is of critical importance for the understanding of immunologic relationships between mother and child and specifically for the mechanisms of Rh isoimmunization. In a previous study1 the phenomenon of transplacental passage was investigated in homospecific pregnancies-i.e., in the absence of mate...

متن کاملTransplacental transfer of genotoxins and transplacental carcinogenesis.
A number of chemical compounds induce cancer in the offspring of animals treated with these compounds. The fetus is sensitive to the toxic and teratogenic effects of chemicals in the early embryonic stages, whereas it is sensitive to carcinogenic effects during late fetal stages. Carcinogens may be direct acting or may require metabolic oxidation such as those in tobacco smoke. Activation can o...
متن کاملIntrauterine transfusion in Rh-isoimmunization.
Fifteen per cent. of all cases of Rh-isoimmunization end in stillbirth. Until 1963 the only available means of preventing this outcome in cases with a high risk of stillbirth was to deliver the foetus prematurely before intrauterine death had occurred. The value of this was limited, because many intrauterine deaths due to haemolytic disease of the newborn occur early in pregnancy, and because i...
