These products are given to Rh(D) negative mothers of unknown or Rh(D) positive babies during and after pregnancy to prevent the creation of antibodies to the blood of the Rh(D) positive child. This antigen sensitization and subsequent incompatibility phenomenon causes Rhesus disease, the most common form of HDN. [4]
At the time of her birth, Crane suffered near-fatal erythroblastosis fetalis due to her mother's Rh-negative blood. [5] Her parents divorced in August 1944. [6] She was raised primarily in Bel Air, Los Angeles, and described her early life as: "famous at birth and pampered silly."

Karl Landsteiner ForMemRS [2] (German: [kaʁl ˈlantˌʃtaɪnɐ]; 14 June 1868 – 26 June 1943 [3]) was an Austrian-American biologist, physician, and immunologist. [4] He emigrated with his family to New York in 1923 at the age of 55 for professional opportunities, working for the Rockefeller Institute.
Wiener's theory is that Rh inheritance is controlled as follows: There is one Rh locus at which occurs one Rh gene, but this gene has multiple alleles. For example, one gene R1 produces one agglutinogen (antigen) Rh1 which is composed of three "factors": rh', Rh(o), and hr' '. The three factors are analogous to C, D, and e respectively in the ...
1. This is the Rh-positive blood cell. 2. This is the Rh-negative blood cell. 3. These are the antigens on the Rh-positive blood cell that make it positive. The antigens allow the positive blood cell to attach to specific antibodies. Rh phenotypes are readily identified through the presence or absence of the Rh surface antigens.
5. George Washington Vanderbilt II. The Vanderbilt name is famous for many reasons. Like the Rockefellers and Carnegies, the Vanderbilt family had a portfolio of railroad and steel businesses that ...
John Grant Gorman AC, (born c. 1931) [1] is an Australian physician and medical researcher. In 1980, Gorman shared the Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award for pioneering work on the rhesus blood group system, the role of rhesus D antibodies in the causation of Rh disease and the apparently paradoxical prevention of Rh disease using the Rh antibodies themselves, in the form of Rho(D ...
