What is Lymphocyte Immunization Therapy (LIT)?

Lymphocyte Immunization Therapy or LIT is a procedure whereby white blood cells from the prospective father are injected into the skin of the prospective mother to prepare the maternal immune system for pregnancy. Because pregnancy tissues are the product of both the mothers as well as the father's genes, LIT assists the mothers immune system in the development of immunologic tolerance to the genetically foreign pregnancy tissues.
