Abstract
A method for separating nucleated fetal red blood cells and nucleated fetal cells and maternal granular sites from maternal blood is achieved by applying maternal blood to a triple gradient gel, isolating nucleated fetal cells from the gel and binding the isolated fetal cells to a solid support by means of an anti-i antibody bound to the solid support. The separated fetal cells can then be subjected to analysis for fetal sex or genetic disorders.
