title: [Immunotherapy of primary habitual abortion].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate whether different number of times of immunization and different immunogens have any effect on the outcome of pregnancy in patients with history of primary habitual abortion.
  
  
  METHODS
  38 cases of pregnant women with history of primary habitual abortion immunized with lymphocytes were analysed retrospectively.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The results showed that the successful pregnancy rate was 87.5% (14/16) in the women immunized two times and was 86.4% (19/22) in the women immunized four times. There was no significant difference between the two groups. The successful pregnancy rate was 84.2% (16/19) in women immunized with their husbands' lymphocytes and 89.5% (17/19) in women immunized with donors' lymphocytes. There was also no significant difference between the two groups.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In order to prevent hematogenous infection, active immunization could be reduced from four to two times and the immunogens may be selected from the husband or from healthy donor.
