ABSTRACT
The Steele-Gorczynski phenomenon, namely, paternally transmitted specific immunologic unresponsiveness, was big news in 1980. However, the sensational interpretation given to the phenomenon and the failure of several groups to reproduce it left most immunologists very skeptical at best. Ted Steele and Reg Gorczynski have been recently partly vindicated (with respect to the phenomenon, but not with respect to the interpretation) by Cooper-Willis and collaborators. Ted Steele argues here that some old data by G. Biozzi support his views.
