title: Fetal immunization against the mother's lymphocytes. A report of two cases.
abstract: In 2 cases the child's serum at birth contained a lymphocytotoxic antibody whose specificity did not correspond to the maternal serum's specificity. Further investigation suggested that the newborns were immunized against their mother as the antibodies were directed against maternal antigens.
