Simultaneous fetal cell identification and diagnosis by epsilon-globin chain immunophenotyping and chromosomal fluorescence in situ hybridization
1 Aug 2001
Abstract excerpt
Isolating fetal erythroblasts from maternal blood offers a promising noninvasive alternative for prenatal diagnosis. The current immunoenzymatic methods of identifying fetal cells from background maternal cells postenrichment by labeling gamma-globin are problematic. They are nonspecific because maternal cells may produce gamma-globin, give poor hybridization efficiencies with chromosomal fluorescence in situ...
