Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia due to fetomaternal Zwb incompatibility. 1986

C Mueller-Eckhardt, and T Becker, and M Weisheit, and C Witz, and S Santoso

A case of neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia due to fetomaternal incompatibility against the platelet-specific antigen Zwb (PlA2) is described. The antibody was of the IgG class and did not fix complement in vitro. Its specificity was established by panel identification and by comparison to a Zwb antiserum. Gene dosage determinations of Zwa antigens on platelets of parents and child revealed that the mother was homozygous Zwa Zwa, while father and child were heterozygous for this antigen.

D007519 Isoantigens Antigens that exist in alternative (allelic) forms in a single species. When an isoantigen is encountered by species members who lack it, an immune response is induced. Typical isoantigens are the BLOOD GROUP ANTIGENS. Alloantigens,Alloantigen,Isoantigen

The placental barrier excludes microbial or viral transmission. Transplacental Exposure,Exchange, Maternal-Fetal,Exposure, Transplacental,Maternal Fetal Exchange
D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D001787 Blood Group Incompatibility An antigenic mismatch between donor and recipient blood. Antibodies present in the recipient's serum may be directed against antigens in the donor product. Such a mismatch may result in a transfusion reaction in which, for example, donor blood is hemolyzed. (From Saunders Dictionary & Encyclopedia of Laboratory Medicine and Technology, 1984).
