Abstract
The presence of nucleated erythrocytes was studied before and after en richment with immunomagnetic beads and monoclonal antiglycophorin A (a nti-GPA) antibody in the peripheral venous blood of 11 pregnant women at 10-16 weeks of gestation. Nucleated erythrocytes were identified by alkaline phosphatase antialkaline phosphatase immunostaining by means of anti-GPA antibody. In the unenriched cell samples, nucleated eryth rocytes were found at frequencies of 1/2,800-1/83,000 in 6 cases. The frequency of nucleated erythrocytes was increased up to 6 times by the enrichment.
