Maternal serum screening for down syndrome in pregnancies conceived by intra-uterine insemination.

abstract：:Serum specimens were obtained by fetoscopy at 19-25 weeks' gestation from four fetuses whose mothers had had confirmed rubella earlier in pregnancy. They were tested for rubella-specific IgM by antibody capture radioimmunoassay. No specific IgM was detected in one fetus and a healthy infant was delivered at term. Spec...
