Disease relevance of Fetal Blood

  • Of eight cord-blood samples from neonates with proved HIV infection, five were positive for immune-complex-dissociated p24 antigen [1].
  • We identified these vermiform structures in toluidine blue O-stained venous blood smears from four women with preeclampsia, cord blood taken at delivery of three of their neonates, and venous blood from five control subjects without preeclampsia and from five healthy beagle dogs [2].
  • GSH and NAC suppressed the replication of HIV-1 in both primary cord blood and adult donor MDM in a concentration dependent fashion [3].
  • Parvovirus B19-infected erythroblasts in fetal cord blood [4].
  • When injected separately into nonobese diabetic-severe combined immunodeficient (NOD/SCID) mice or in competition with control vector-transduced cells, HOXB4-overexpressing cord blood CD34+ cells had a selective growth advantage in vivo, which resulted in a marked enhancement of the primitive CD34+ subpopulation (P =.01) [5].
 

Psychiatry related information on Fetal Blood

 

High impact information on Fetal Blood

  • RESULTS: Recipients of cord blood were younger than recipients of bone marrow (median age, 5 years vs. 8 years; P<0.001), weighed less (median weight, 17 kg vs. 26 kg; P<0.001), and were less likely to have received methotrexate for prophylaxis against GVHD (28 percent vs. 65 percent, P<0.001) [8].
  • Smad2 function is not required for mesoderm production per se, but, rather unexpectedly, in the absence of Smad2 the entire epiblast adopts a mesodermal fate giving rise to a normal yolk sac and fetal blood cells [9].
  • BACKGROUND: Cord-blood banks have increased the use of cord-blood transplantation in patients with hematologic disorders [10].
  • Although more BFU-E-derived colonies appeared when 200 or 2000 mU were present per milliliter in cultures of the infants' blood and cord blood, the intrinsic responsiveness of BFU-E to erythropoietin was similar in all groups [11].
  • Fetal blood was obtained by placental aspiration for measurement of plasma creatine phosphokinase activity [12].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Fetal Blood

 

Biological context of Fetal Blood

 

Anatomical context of Fetal Blood

  • CD40-activated cord blood CD34HPC were found to proliferate and differentiate independently of granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor, into a cell population with prominent dendritic cell (DC) attributes including priming of allogeneic naive T cells [23].
  • Here a new, intrinsically pluripotent, CD45-negative population from human cord blood, termed unrestricted somatic stem cells (USSCs) is described [24].
  • When human peripheral blood or cord blood lymphocytes are cultured in the presence of PBM, a high level of thymidine incorporation by these cells is detected [25].
  • We have identified a chemokine receptor which appears to be selectively expressed in human dendritic cells derived from CD34+ cord blood precursors, but not in dendritic cells derived from peripheral blood monocytes [26].
  • The long-term suspension growth of normal, immature myeloid cells from fresh human cord blood was recently reported and required cells separated on supplemented discontinuous Percoll gradients, growth in media containing hydrocortisone and vitamins D3, and gentle, continuous agitation (13) [27].
 

Associations of Fetal Blood with chemical compounds

  • A review of the data for fetal cortisol levels at delivery suggests that many of the values published over the past decade are too high owing to the use of methods insufficiently specific for cortisol in cord blood [28].
  • The increase in fetal O2 consumption was accompanied by a significant increase in fetal O2 extraction with no change in either fetal O2 delivery or fetal blood O2 affinity [29].
  • Betamethasone in cord blood was 14.3 microg cortisol equivalents per 100 ml at 1 h, decreased to a level of 4.7 at 20 h, and was not detected 2 days after a second dose at 24 h [30].
  • At 4 h of age the mean serum rT3 concentration (165 plus or minus 13 ng per 100 ml) in six newborns was 4ot significantly different from that in paired cord blood samples (194 plus or minus 25 ng per 100 ml); on the other hand, whenever, studied, the mean serum T3 and T4 levels were significantly higher at 4 h than at birth [31].
  • Since increased serum concentrations of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D have been reported in this disease, we have examined the capacity of HTLV-I-infected cord blood lymphocytes to metabolize 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [32].
 

Gene context of Fetal Blood

  • We have characterized committed hPrMCs and fully mature hMCs derived in vitro from cord blood for their functional responses to chemokine and cytokine agonists germane to allergic inflammation and for their maturation-related expression of the corresponding receptors [33].
  • CD40 ligation on human cord blood CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors induces their proliferation and differentiation into functional dendritic cells [23].
  • However, we demonstrate that SCID-repopulating cells present in the CD34(+) cell fraction of cord blood can be segregated into subpopulations with distinct repopulation characteristics [34].
  • Interestingly, cord blood cell cultures performed with IL-3 contained variable percentages of eosinophils that were further enhanced in the presence of combinations of IL-3 and IL-4 [35].
  • Interleukin-4 has basophilic and eosinophilic cell growth-promoting activity on cord blood cells [35].
