Prenatal diagnosis is presently performed following invasive procedures with variable risks of fetal loss; non-invasive procedures using fetal cells in maternal blood would be welcome for the early detection of fetal sex or aneuploidy. We describe a simple and rapid protocol to detect fetal cells an

Trophoblast cells can be detected in maternal blood during normal human pregnancy and DNA from these cells may be used for non-invasive prenatal diagnosis of inherited diseases. The possibility of enriching trophoblast cells from maternal blood samples using a monoclonal antibody (LK26) against a fo
The development of a non-invasive prenatal diagnostic test using fetal nucleated red blood cells (NRBCs) isolated from the maternal circulation is hampered by the low frequency of these cells in maternal blood, requiring extensive enrichment procedures before any analytical procedure can be performe
## Abstract Background: Fetal cell detection in maternal tissue requires an accurate, efficient, and reproducible microscopy method. Our objective was to compare manual scoring to a commercially available automated scanning system for the detection of chromosome signals by fluorescence in situ hybr
A notable degree of research attention is being focused on the use of fetal cells enriched from the blood of pregnant women as a non-invasive means of prenatal diagnosis. By using magnetic activated cells sorting (MACS) and ยฏuorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), we have examined the efยฎcacy of en
