Some of the antibodies we used were studied at the international workshop on blood group antibodies at Paris, 1987.

This publication included the first suggestion that a mother could make blood group antibodies owing to immune sensitization to her fetus's red blood cells.

A pregnant woman can make IgG blood group antibodies if her fetus has a blood group antigen that she does not have.

Other blood group antibodies (Kidd, Lewis, Duffy, MN, P and others).

This principle has been used to remove blood group antibodies from plasma for bone marrow transplantation and for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia through monoclonal antibodies to remove low-density lipoproteins.

These studies on the fine specificity of structures recognised by blood group antibodies do not completely rule out the possibility that a different epitope could be recognised by the antibodies in the livers and colons of PSC patients.
