In 1955 they got their wish a d baby boy, but the infant lived In the next four years, hours. six only Geraldine had three more babies two were stillborn, the third lived only for one hour. Both parents were in excellent health, yet it was not coincidence that killed four of their five babies, since 200,000 other infants 10,000 in the U.S. alone die from the same cause every year. They are the helpless victims of a strange ailment called erythroblastosis fetalis more commonly known as Rh hemolytic disease of the newborn which occurs when the blood of one parent contains an element incompatible with the blood of the other. This element is an elusive substance known as the Rh factor (so called for the rhesus monkey, in which it was first discovered), and it exists in 85 percent of all humans. Blood containing ; the Rh factor is classified as blood without it, Actually, the Rh factor itself isn't a villain, but a sort of bystander that innocently unleashes a killer. If a mother is and a father the Rh the inherit father's factor; baby may this, in fact, happens in one out of every eight marriages. During pregnancy in such an instance, blood cells enter the baby's the mother's body through the placenta. The presence of these cells eventually triggers an automatic response in the mother's blood stream the production of antibodies. These are chemical substances which resist or neutralize foreign "intruders," such as, for example, the virus of the common cold. Ironically, there's no need for this defense mechanism, since the infant's cells offer little, if any, threat to the mother. The mother's antibodies, however, can be fatal to a baby.

Accept no substitute ve ve ve mother, like the Tracys' Laura, is seldom endangered by the disease, since the mother won't manufacture her antibodies until several weeks after delivery. At that time, she may become 11 Family Wstkly, May IS, 1983 "sensitized" (that is, permanently immunized against the cells), and the antibodies lie in wait, so to speak, for the next pregnancy with an fetus. Then, usually within 30 weeks following conception, these antibodies invade this infant's blood stream and literally set out to murder its cells. They do this by causing anemia, deadly to an unborn or newborn infant. Until recently, a baby so attacked had limited chances of survival. Massive blood transfusions (sometimes given while the infant was still in the womb) were the doctor's only weapon against the disease but they worked only 50 percent of the time. Now, however, a dramatic medical breakthrough promises to eradicate this assassin. It will probably become available to mothers sometime before the end of this year. The new agent is a vaccine, known medically as Rh immune globulin, which thwarts Rh hemolytic disease by preventing the mother from producing antibodies. Injected within 72 hours after the delivery, Rh immune globulin blood "blinds" the mother's stream to the presence of the baby's cells; without "awareness" of the cells, there can be no production of antibodies. To do this, antibodies contained in the vaccine destroy the baby's alien cells before they can trigger the mother's Rh-posti- ve ve ve ve defense mechanism. Within several months, the vaccine's antibodies vanish entirely from the mother's blood stream without having caused any damage. Rh immune globulin is the fruit of eight years' intensive research by a team of three outstanding scientists: Dr. Vincent J. Freda and Dr. John G. Gorman of the College of Physicians and Surn geons at New York's Medical Center, and Dr. William Pollack of the Ortho Research Foundation of Raritan, N. J., which sponsored the research project. Their task wasn't easy. A host of formidably complex chemical puzzles faced them. They had to tackle the difficult, intricate problems involved in collecting, separating, and stabilizing Rh antibodies and to develop techniques for putting those antibodies into correct, uniform dosages. In time, and at a cost running into millions, a product emerged. Now came the key question: would it work? To determine the vaccine's effectiveness, the team prepared carefully designed tests to be conducted on animals, then Columbia-Presbyteria- |
