Microchimerism of maternal origin persists into adult life

1 Jul 1999

Abstract excerpt

Recent studies indicate that fetal cells persist in maternal blood for decades after pregnancy. Maternal cells are known to engraft and persist in infants with immunodeficiency, but whether maternal cells persist long-term in immunocompetent offspring has not specifically been investigated. We developed sensitive human leukocyte antigen-specific (HLA-specific) PCR assays and targeted nonshared maternal HLA genes...
