Abstract
The lymphocytotoxicity technique at +15°C and +37°C was used to identify anti‐HLA and cold lymphocytotoxic antibodies in sera from two women with herpes gestationis. The degree of severity of the illness was different in the two cases. The more serious case (widespread cutaneous involvement, repeated fetal deaths) had a very powerful anti‐HLA‐A9+anti‐HLA‐B5 antibody (titre 1/1000); the other had Icss severe skin lesions; she had an anti‐HLA‐B13 antibody (titre was 1/256). Both cases had cold lymphocytotoxic auto‐antibodies.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
