Objective:
The aim of this review is to give comprehensive summary of erythrocyte alloimunization of pregnant women, laboratory dignostics and clinical importance.
Design:
Review.
Setting:
University Hospital Olomouc, Transfusion Department, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Subject And Method:
Based on literature analysis using database search engines PubMed, Google Scholar, Ovid in field of erythrocyte antibodies, laboratory diagnostics and clinical importance up-to-date knowledge.
Conclusion:
Erythrocyte alloimunization anti-D antibodies decreases in connection with the introduction of immunoprofylaxis. Immunization of non RhD antibodies with impossibility using of immunoprofylaxis remains still clinical problem.

Development of Immunocompetence
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
Subsequent T...
