Abstract:
Pure anti-Doa stimulated by pregnancy was detected in 2 non-transfused females during routine antenatal screening. Anti-Doa occurs rarely and has generally been reported in combination with other antibodies. The first, and only report to date, of pure anti-Doa was also stimulated by pregnancy. We believe these instances to be only the second and third reported cases of pure anti-Doa.

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.
