To determine the frequency of fetal nucleated cells in maternal peripheral blood during different stages of pregnancy, 50 primigravidas were investigated by determining the frequency of cells with the Y chromosome using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) of Y-specific repetitive sequences of

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
The relationship between gestational age and frequency of fetal cells in the maternal blood was studied in order to determine the optimal time for cell recovery. The immunomagnetic colloid system was used to enrich nucleated erythrocytes (NRBCs) and trophoblasts from 20 ml maternal blood samples obt
