Measurement of amniotic fluid surfactant.
Measurement of the production of surfactant is the most direct means of prenatally assessing fetal pulmonary maturity. We review assays which have evolved for measuring surfactant, classifying them into two general categories: biochemical quantitation and biophysical measurements. Biochemical quantitation assays include the amniotic fluid lecithin/sphingomyelin ratio and quantitation of lecithi...

OGAWA, Y. Fetal Pulmonary Surfactant in Amniotic Fluid of Ewes. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1972, 108 (4), 307-315-The phospholipids in the amniotic fluid from healthy pregnant ewes at various stages of gestation were analyzed in relation to the fetal pulmonary surfactant. The most abundant phospholipid was phosphatidylcholine which increased as the term approached. Analysis on the positional specific...
متن کاملAmniotic Fluid and Amniotic Membrane Stem Cells: Marker Discovery
Amniotic fluid (AF) and amniotic membrane (AM) have been recently characterized as promising sources of stem or progenitor cells. Both not only contain subpopulations with stem cell characteristics resembling to adult stem cells, such as mesenchymal stem cells, but also exhibit some embryonic stem cell properties like (i) expression of pluripotency markers, (ii) high expansion in vitro, or (iii...
متن کاملRE: MS# PR-D-05-00455R1-Micelles of pulmonary surfactant in human amniotic fluid
Studies using in vitro analysis have shown that the interaction between pulmonary surfactant and vernix caseosa could explain the appearance of amniotic fluid turbidity. That phenomenon is interpreted based on the "roll-up" hypothesis. We tested the roll-up hypothesis by examining the presence of micelles of pulmonary surfactant in human amniotic fluid at term. Amniotic fluid samples were colle...
