...right for Rh typing. Such serum can be got only from Rh-negative patients who at some time in the past have had an infusion of Rh-positive blood. It contains an antibody called "anti-D," formed by natural body defenses doing battle with the invading Rh-positive factor. (Parker got his anti-D as a result of a 1947 spinal fusion when he was accidentally transfused with Rh-positive blood.) In the laboratory, technicians use the serum with anti-D to test blood specimens for Rh factor. If clumping occurs, technicians can be sure that the specimen...
...proposal to give him more Rh-positive blood and stimulate anti-D production. Such a course was dangerous. Second transfusions of Rh-positive blood into negative patients frequently lead to severe incompatibility reactions, and sometimes death. But only a minute amount of Rh-positive blood need be transfused-a factor that favored the attempt. They put it up to the patient. "Go ahead," said Parker, "if this is going to help other people by reducing their medical expenses." The transfusion and succeeding transfusions were successful. His physicians conservatively estimate that Parker may yet produce enough typing serum...
...include not merely lung cancer, but even more important (in number of deaths ), heart and circulatory diseases-plus other pulmonary diseases and cancers of the mouth and throat. With this much to go on, Hammond hypothesized that the amount of smoke to get into the lungs was a critical factor, and two years ago decided to include this in the Cancer Society's biggest survey yet (with questions on environment, heredity, diet and drinking habits...
