Twenty-two nulli- all primipara who had had previous repeated spontaneous abortions and who did not have anti-HLA antibodies for the partner, received immunological treatment consisting of a single transfusion of the partner's lymphocytes in the third week of pregnancy, and giving natural progesterone supplements after the kinetic of Beta-HCG in the plasma had been assessed.
