Erythrocyte, Histocompatibility, and Y-Dependent Antigens

James R. Scott, MD; Alan E. Beer, MD; Peter Stastny, MD

JAMA. 1976;235(4):402-404.

Abstract
Determination of ABO and HL-A antigens and sex ratio of infants born to 46 women with preeclampsia or eclampsia, in comparison with normal controls, disclosed no predominant blood group, HL-A haplotype, or qualitative difference in maternal-fetal incompatibility. These results suggest that a link between immunologic mechanisms and the pathogenesis of toxemia syndromes, if present at all, must be associated with feto-placental tissue-specific antigens.
