1. The role of fetal-maternal microchimerism as a natural-born healer in integrity improvement of maternal damaged kidney
ABSTRACT Purpose: To identify the fetal stem cell (FSC) response to maternal renal injury with emphasis on renal integrity improvement and Y chromosome detection in damaged maternal kidney. Materials and Methods: Eight non-green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgenic Sprague-Dawley rats were mated with GFP-positive transgenic male rats. Renal damage was indu

2. Microquimerismo fetal em pacientes com lupus eritematoso sistêmico: uma contribuição para o estudo da fisiopatologia das doenças auto-imunes.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (LES) is a serious systemic autoimmune disease of which the pathogenesis remains elusive. Bi-directional cell traffic during pregnancy gives rise to fetal microchimerism (FMC). There is accumulating evidence suggesting that FMC can cause or exacerbate autoimmunity. Objetive. To determine the incidence of FMC in LES patients (pts)

3. Microchimerism of maternal origin persists into adult life
Recent studies indicate that fetal cells persist in maternal blood for decades after pregnancy. Maternal cells are known to engraft and persist in infants with immunodeficiency, but whether maternal cells persist long-term in immunocompetent offspring has not specifically been investigated. We developed sensitive human leukocyte antigen–specific (HLA-speci

4. Male fetal progenitor cells persist in maternal blood for as long as 27 years postpartum.
Rare nucleated fetal cells circulate within maternal blood. Noninvasive prenatal diagnosis by isolation and genetic analysis of these cells is currently being undertaken. We sought to determine if genetic evidence existed for persistent circulation of fetal cells from prior pregnancies. Venous blood samples were obtained from 32 pregnant women and 8 nonpregn
