Activity levels of total and placental alkaline phosphatase (AP) were determined in maternal serum and neutrophils of normal and Down syndrome pregnancies. The placental iso-enzyme (PAP) was identified by its relative stability to urea and heat. Significant increase in the activity of all iso-enzyme

Placental alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was investigated in second-trimester maternal sera from 37 pregnancies with Down's syndrome, 28 pregnancies with trisomy 18, and in a series of 497 controls using a fluorimetric heat inactivation assay and specific immunoassay. After conversion of indivi
To assess the influence of in vitro fertilization (IVF) on maternal serum human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), the maternal serum hCG and AFP values were studied in 67 IVF pregnancies and compared with the results of a control group of 4732 spontaneously conceiving patien
