Paper was submitted to an international journal.
The collected cells having paternal DNA are fetal cells.
Collaborative research with other BioTech
The above-mentioned researches show that the cellular fraction after SLM enrichment certainly involves the cells of fetal origin.
SLM supplies sufficient erythroblasts to analyze aneuploidy using FISH.
- Image analyzer: Metafer4/AXIO (Carl Zeiss, Jermany)
- FISH probes: GSP Lab. (Kanagawa Japan)
- Venous blood of pregnant women after post diagnosis were collected, and then IIIIconducted SLM.
- Hemolysis after blood drawing occurred on the individual 4. Hemolysis may
- BIBhave reduced the number of erythroblast detection.
SLM is a practical technique to supply fetal whole genomes as erythroblast.
