Popis: A rough correlation was observed in mother rabbits immunized to an extract of rabbit thyroid, between the height of antithyroid antibody titer achieved and the incidence and degree of histologic changes of “thyroiditis.” No significant abnormality was observed in the thyroids of mother rabbits given saline or immunizing injections to hog or human thyroid gland. Although transplacental transfer of thyroid antibody was demonstrated and there was a high incidence of fetal death in rabbit-thyroid immunized rabbits, no evidence of congenital hypothyroidism was demonstrable in the fetuses.
