| Abstract | |
Objective: The main aim of the present study was to detect bovine fetal DNA in the maternal circulation, a relatively unexplored subject in the literature. Study design: DNA was extracted from blood of 84 primipara cows (Bos indicus) at different gestational ages (30-270 days) and from 100 adult animals (50 males and 50 non-pregnant cows). The samples were analyzed using PCR with primers for TSPY gene. Results: Molecular results matched the fetal phenotypic gender in all 47 male and 37 female fetuses, including early pregnancy, and in control animals. Conclusions: These results evidence a bovine transplacental fetal DNA passage. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. (AU) | |
