title: Are fetal cells in maternal plasma really there? We think they are.
abstract: We describe a single centrifugation procedure that resulted in the recovery of fetal cells in maternal blood in 77% of normal male pregnancies and in 87.5% of aneuploid pregnancies. There was an average yield of one fetal cell/1,993 maternal cells in normal pregnancies, which increased to one in 994, in aneuploid pregnancies.
