James Scott (obstetrician)
- ... that the obstetrician James Scott showed that certain diseases in newborns were caused by their mothers' antibodies crossing the placenta? Source: "He was one of the first to recognise that transient forms of adult diseases in the newborn, previously regarded as curiosities, were often signs of the transplacental passage of harmful antibodies from the mother"

Article is new enough, long enough, neutral, and well referenced. Hook is interesting and supported by The Independent obituary. QPQ is done. No copyvio issues. Good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 05:46, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
The QPQ was already used for Template:Did you know nominations/Celso-Ramón García. Regarding the hook, do you want to note that they are "harmful" antibodies, not just any antibodies? Yoninah (talk) 21:37, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: Good catch. I didn't realize the QPQ was already used. -Zanhe (talk) 23:02, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: My mistake. Have Template:Did you know nominations/Norman Surplus instead. 97198 (talk) 10:34, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
- Regarding the antibodies, obviously they are harmful if they are causing disease, which is said in the hook. They aren't harmful to the mothers. 97198 (talk) 10:36, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
