Finally, in the case of a woman with child-bearing potential, donations from her
husband/partner may be contraindicated because the woman could become
immunized to an antigen the father might share with a future fetus. In addition,
because antibodies against paternal red cell or HLA antigens may be formed by
women during pregnancy, transfusion from a woman to her biologic child or to the
father of a biologic child should be avoided.
