title: [Search for anti-HL-A antibodies in the amniotic fluid].
abstract: Eighty-two samples of amniotic fluid, taken at the moment of delivery, were studied in search for anti-HL-A antibodies. A positive reaction to the lymphocytotoxicity technique was obtained with 18 of the samples. Only 1 of them, a sample from an abortion at the 17th week contained anti-HL-A antibodies; the other 17 seemed to contain a nonspecific cytotoxic factor.
