abstract：:Pre- and posttransfusion antibody titers were performed on 6 patients with anti-Sda transfused with incompatible blood. In 3 of these patients a significant rise in IgG antibody titer was found. The data suggest that in occasional patients the Sda antigen does evoke a secondary immune response. We evaluated 245 pregna...
