polymerase chain reaction

Mouse embryos were transferred to allogeneic pseudopregnant foster mothers
and the cells of the resultant neonates were analyzed for the expression of
maternal major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens to elucidate
maternal cell transmission to the fetus during pregnancy. Expression of
maternal-type MHC antigens was detected in the spleen but not in the liver
or thymus of the neonates in analyses by immunofluorescence flow cytometry
and polymerase chain reaction. These findings provide evidence, on the
molecular basis, that maternal blood cells are transmitted to the fetus
through the placenta.
