COLD AGGLUTININS OF ANTI-PR SPECIFICITY IN RUBELLA EMBRYOPATHY

Cold agglutinins of anti-Pr specificity were detected in two newborn infants suffering from serologically ascertained rubella embryopathy, an IgM kappa-anti-Pr(a), titer 64, and an IgM lambda-anti-Pr1, titer 16. The cases are rare examples of cold agglutinin production in newborns; a possible relati...

Description
Summary:Cold agglutinins of anti-Pr specificity were detected in two newborn infants suffering from serologically ascertained rubella embryopathy, an IgM kappa-anti-Pr(a), titer 64, and an IgM lambda-anti-Pr1, titer 16. The cases are rare examples of cold agglutinin production in newborns; a possible relationship between anti-Pr specificity and rubella infection is discussed.
