Purification, extraction and analyses of fetal neurally-derived exosomes in maternal blood and neonatal neurally-derived exosomes from neonatal blood

摘要

The present invention provides for the first time the identification of fetal neural exosomal biomarkers isolated from maternal plasma useful in diagnosing fetal neurodevelopmental outcomes. The invention also provides the identification of neonatal neural exosomal biomarkers isolated from neonatal plasma useful in diagnosing neonatal neurodevelopmental outcomes The present invention therefore provides methods, kits and systems for diagnosing fetal neurodevelopmental outcomes, by examining relevant proteins and RNA in fetal neural exosomes isolated from a maternal plasma and neonatal neural exosomes isolated from neonatal plasma.
