まとめ
Rh-ネガティブな母親の50%では,出産後に抗D免疫グロブリンを投与することで,Rh-血解性疾患を予防することができます. 更に予防するには,産前治療が必要ですが,現在の英国の低産前死亡率は,普遍的な産前治療が費用対効果が低いことを意味します.
科学分野:
- 免疫学 免疫学とは
- 産科は産婦人科です.
- ペリナトロジー (Perinatology) とは
背景:
- 新生児のRh-hemolytic疾患 (HDFN) は,深刻な状態です.
- 敏感化は,Rh陰性母がRh陽性胎児の血液に曝されたときに起こります.
- 抗D免疫グロブリン (Ig) のような予防措置は,HDFNの発生率を大幅に減少させました.
研究 の 目的:
- 現在の抗D Igプロトコルの有効性を評価し,Rh感受性を予防する.
- 産前抗D Ig投与の潜在的な影響を評価する.
- イギリスにおける普遍的な産前抗D Igの費用対効果を決定する.
主な方法:
- 最初のRh抗体を持つRh陰性妊婦246人を対象に実施した調査.
- 敏感化のタイミングの分析 (産後と産前).
- イギリスにおける生後死亡率と発症率データの評価.
主要な成果:
- 前回のRh陽性出産後に,分娩後の抗D Igで,約50%の感受性を防ぐことができた.
- 残りの感受性は,産前抗D Igの投与を必要とした.
- 現在,イギリスでHDFNによる低乳児死亡率は,ユニバーサル・アンテナル・アンチ-D Igを費用対効果が低いものにしています.
結論:
- 産後抗D Igの投与は極めて重要であり,約50%の症例で敏感化を防ぐことができます.
- 産前抗D Igは,他の症例での感受性を防ぐために必要である.
- すべてのRh陰性母とRh陽性の乳児/中絶に対する標的型産後抗D Igは,残りの症例を減らすための最も効果的な戦略です.

Antibody Structure
Overview
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.

Transcytosis of IgG
Transcytosis is the process in which molecules are internalized by endocytosis, transported across the cell, and released through exocytosis from the opposite end of the cell. Molecules such as insulin, immunoglobulins, and certain nutrients are transferred through the recycling endosomes by recycling and transcytosis.
IgG molecules from a mother undergo transcytosis starting around 13 weeks of gestation. The amount of IgG transferred and entering the fetal blood circulation increases with...

Rh Blood Group
The Rhesus (Rh) antigen is crucial in determining blood groups and ensuring compatibility during blood transfusions.
Antibody Structure and Classes
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are produced by B cells in response to foreign substances, such as bacteria and viruses. These proteins are critical for recognizing and neutralizing these substances, protecting the body from potential harm.
The basic structure of an antibody consists of four protein chains: two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains. These chains are held together by disulfide bonds and other non-covalent interactions, forming a Y-shaped structure.

Development of Immunocompetence
The initiation of cell-mediated immunity can be observed as early as the third month of fetal growth, with active antibody-mediated immunity following approximately one month later.
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.

Diphtheria
Diphtheria is an acute, toxin-mediated infectious disease that primarily affects the upper respiratory tract. It is caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae, a Gram-positive, pleomorphic rod that lacks spore-forming capability and exhibits a characteristic club-shaped morphology under microscopic examination. While C. diphtheriae can asymptomatically colonize mucosal surfaces, clinical disease manifests only when the bacterial strain is lysogenized by a specific β-corynephage. This phage...
