Anti-leukocyte antibodies


Rose Payne in the US (J Clin Invest 37:1756, 1958) and Jon van Rood in the Netherlands (Nature 151:1735, 1958) working independently reported the presence of anti-leukocyte antibodies in the sera of pregnant women. This set the momentum for the availability of mono or oligospecific HLA antisera to determine HLA antigens in an individual.
