What Types of Fetal Cells are Found in Maternal Blood?
Several types of fetal cells can be identified in maternal blood. These include:
1. Trophoblasts: These are cells derived from the outer layer of the blastocyst and are involved in implantation and placental development. 2. Nucleated Red Blood Cells (NRBCs): These cells are immature red blood cells that still contain a nucleus. 3. Fetal Leukocytes: These are white blood cells that can be involved in immune responses.
