Zusammenfassung:The idea was tested initially on Rh-negative male volunteers by injecting them with Rh factor. Using crude semen from sensitised Rh-negative donors, [Ronald Finn] showed that sensitisation could be prevented in Rh-negative male volunteers. More extensive experiments with pure anti-Rh antibody, produced by American investigators who were independently pursuing the similar research, confirmed those findings. In 1964, Finn and [Cyril Clarke] proved their point in a carefully designed clinical trial, among high-risk Rh-negative women.
