We set out to ascertain the numbers of fetal cells that enter the maternal blood stream during pregnancy. Samples of 15-16 ml of whole blood were collected from 225 women--mostly 10-18 weeks pregnant--and then processed by charge flow separation, a novel method based on free flow electrophoresis in
The purpose of this study was to determine the proportion of fetal nucleated red blood cells (NRBCs) among enriched NRBCs and to evaluate the effectiveness of enriching NRBCs in maternal blood using fluorescenceactivated cell sorting (FACS) to separate NRBCs. The origin of enriched NRBCs was determi
Bone marrow smears stained with Giemsa were scanned with a video camera under computer control. Red cells (89 normal and 44 megaloblastic) were sampled. Each cell was digitized into 70 X 70 pixels, each pixel representing a square area of 0.04 micron 2 in the original image. The pixel gray values ra
Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is an established invasive prenatal diagnostic method for the detection of fetal chromosome aberrations. In 1-2% the karyotype result of CVS is inconclusive and follow-up confirmation will be required. To avoid another invasive procedure we examined fetal nucleated re
Iron loaded transferrin (holotransferrin) was used for enrichment of fetal cells from peripheral blood of pregnant women. Cord blood samples were used to evaluate enrichment efficacy of single and double MACS separations. Blood samples were obtained from 10 pregnant women prior to chorion villus sam
