Biometry of the fetal heart between 10 and 17 weeks of gestation.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:Non-invasive prenatal diagnosis using circulating fetal trophoblast cells has been challenging due to lack of a reproducible trophoblast-specific antibody. We investigated the use of three trophoblast cell-specific antibodies, HLA-G, placenta growth factor, and neuroD2, for the isolation of trophoblast cells...
