Fetal microchimerism and autoimmune disease

Japanese Journal of Clinical Immunology, 2010
Microchimerism is defined by the presence of circulating cells, bi-directionally transferred from one genetically distinct individual to another. The acquisition and persistence of fetal cell microchimerism, small numbers of genetically disparate cells from the fetus in the mother, is now a well-recognized consequence of normal pregnancy.

Absence of Blood Chimerism in Twin Goeldi's Monkeys (Callimico goeldii): Implications for Interpreting Callitrichid Phylogeny

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 87, Issue 9, September 2025.
All Callitrichidae have twins who are chimeras, but Callimico has singletons. We examined evidence of blood chimerism in the only known surviving Callimico twins, and found that they were non‐chimeric. This represents the first report of the absence of blood chimerism in twins of any callitrichid species.

Grandmaternal cells in cord blood

EBioMedicine, 2021
s: Background: During pregnancy a feto-maternal exchange of cells through the placenta conducts to maternal microchimerism (Mc) in the child and fetal Mc in the mother.

Engraftment Potential of Adipose Tissue-Derived Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells After Transplantation in the Fetal Rabbit [PDF]

, 2016
Due to their favorable intrinsic features, including engraftment, differentiation, and immunomodulatory potential, adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been proposed for therapeutic in utero intervention.

46,XY/46,XY Chimerism: Prenatal Presentation and Postnatal Outcome

Molecular Genetics &Genomic Medicine, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2025.
This study reports a rare case of same‐sex chimerism identified incidentally during prenatal screening, highlighting the importance of comprehensive genetic testing. The findings underscore the complexity of chimerism diagnosis and emphasize the need for increased awareness and research in this field.

Mother-child histocompatibility and risk of rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus among mothers. [PDF]

, 2020
The study objective was to test the hypothesis that having histocompatible children increases the risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), possibly by contributing to the persistence of fetal cells acquired during ...

Fetal cellular microchimerism in miscarriage and pregnancy termination [PDF]

Chimerism, 2013
Fetal cells transfer to the mother during pregnancy and can persist long-term as microchimerism. Acquisition of microchimerism may also occur during pregnancy loss, either miscarriage or pregnancy termination. Because nearly half of all pregnancies end in loss, we recently investigated the magnitude of fetal cell transfer during pregnancy loss and ...

Redefining the Immunobiology of Organ Transplantation for New Clinical Horizons

Scandinavian Journal of Immunology, Volume 102, Issue 2, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Traditional organ transplantation relies on the Self–Non‐self (SNS) model of immunity, focusing on donor–recipient compatibility and aggressive immunosuppression to prevent acute rejection. Although effective early, this strategy does not prevent chronic rejection and cannot account for operational tolerance, failure of perfectly HLA‐matched ...

Factors Predicting the Presence of Maternal Cells in Cord Blood and Associated Changes in Immune Cell Composition

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
BackgroundCord blood (CB) samples are increasingly used as a source of hematopoietic stem cells in transplantation settings. Maternal cells have been detected in CB samples and their presence is associated with a better graft outcome.

Fetal microchimerism in Hashimoto’s thyroiditis: a quantitative approach [PDF]

European Journal of Endocrinology, 2006
Objective: Fetal microchimerism (MCH) has been implicated in the etiology of autoimmune diseases such as autoimmune thyroiditis. The goal of the study was to reliably estimate the number of fetal engrafted cells and to further investigate factors influencing the development of MCH.
