example 1

[0068] More than 400 case samples were used to study the relationship between fetal Down's syndrome and free β-HCG content in maternal blood as well as AFP content (MSAFP), UE and undamaged HCG in maternal serum. The samples included samples from 25 pregnant women known to be carrying fetuses with Down syndrome and control samples from the affected cases.

[0069] For each blood sample, the content values ​​of AFP, undamaged HCG molecules, free β-HCG and UE (hereinafter referred to as "indices") are determined by the following assay methods:

[0070] index test methods

[0071] MSAFP enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)

[0072] UE radioimmunoassay

[0073] Undamaged HCG Bead ELISA

[0074] Free β-HCG ELISA

[0075] The value of each index becomes a variable in the step-by-step discriminant processing and linear discriminant processing on the Statistical Analysis System (SAS Research Institute, Inc.), a computer software statistical software package available on t...

example 2

[0095] More than 550 patient samples were used to study the relationship between fetal Down's syndrome and the level of free β-HCG in maternal blood. First, blood samples obtained from 29 pregnant women known to be pregnant with fetuses with Down syndrome were used to control gestational age (same number of weeks), maternal age (difference within 3 years) and frozen storage time (difference within one month). 520 unaffected samples were analyzed. All samples were obtained from non-diabetic white singleton pregnant women.

[0096] In order to avoid a fixed bias with a certain tendency in the estimated detection rate, the concept of effective group was adopted. The effective set is a set of data that is independent of the baseline data. Results from patients in the cohort were not used to establish baseline data, but were compared to baseline data to determine detection rates. This additional valid set included 26 additional cases identified as trisomy 21 (total of 55 cases) ...

example 3

[0120] The following examples illustrate the preparation of a one-step assay and a two-step assay for free β-HCG and their use in the method of the invention.

[0121] Preparation of one-step free β-HCG assay

[0122] 1. Overlay a 96-well microtiter plate with a "capture" antibody specific for the free beta subunit of the human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) molecule. Antibodies can be monoclonal or polyclonal. The antibody concentration used to coat the plate was 0.8 micrograms per well, but could be varied if desired. Plates were incubated at 4°C for at least 16 hours.

[0123]2. Rinse the plate with pH 7.2 phosphate buffer containing 0.05% Tween 20, other suitable washing buffers can also be used. The plates were then "blocked" with pH 7.2 phosphate buffer containing 3% hydrolyzed animal protein and 0.05% Tween 20. Other solutions familiar to those skilled in the art may also be used, such as 1% bovine serum albumin solution. Add 300 microliters of septum solution to eac...

Abstract

A method and apparatus for determining if a pregnant woman is at significant risk of carrying a fetus with Down syndrome. The method comprises measuring the pregnant woman's maternal blood levels of the free beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin. The level of free beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin individually or with other markers may be compared to reference data. A computerized apparatus for making the determination preferably using a probability density function generated from a set of reference data by a linear discriminant analysis procedure is disclosed.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of an invention patent application with an application date of January 17, 1990, an application number of 90100994.6, and an invention title of "Method and device for detecting Down's syndrome by non-invasive method of examining maternal blood". technical field [0002] The invention relates to a method for finding fetal Down's syndrome (21 trisomy) in prenatal examination. The method also involves trisomy of other rare but detectable chromosomes such as trisomy 13 and trisomy 18. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for improving the detection rate in the detection of Down's syndrome by measuring the content of free β-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in the blood of pregnant women. Background technique [0003] Down syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, is the most common congenital cause of severe mental retardation. Down syndrome is usually identified using a diagnostic approach that i...
