LEVINE, PHILIP
LEVINE, PHILIP (1900–1987), U.S. immunohematologist. Born in Russia, Levine was taken to the United States when he was eight years old. From 1925 to 1932 he worked at the Rockefeller Institute and in 1935 was appointed bacteriologist and serologist at Newark's Beth Israel Hospital. From 1944 to 1965 he was director of immunohematology at the Ortho Research Foundation in Raritan, New Jersey. Levine did extensive work on human blood groups and blood transfusion. He discovered and co-discovered many blood group factors including the Rh, Hr (c), Cellano (k), M, N, P. Guth (s), Mia (Miltenberger), and the Tja factors. He described the specificity of the hemolysin in paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria (Tja), elucidated the Rh null factor with suppressor genes preventing formation of Rh antigens, and characterized hemolytic disease of the newborn (erythroblastosis fetalis) and the phenomenon of isoimmunization through pregnancy. Levine was the author of New Jersey and Wisconsin state laws on blood tests in paternity disputes. -BIBLIOGRAPHY: S.R. Kagan, Jewish Medicine (1952), 270–1. (Fred Rosner)
