Mean fold change in Immunoreactive IMD levels in serum during pregnancy. A, IMD immunoreactivity in serum in different weeks of gestation is significantly higher at 6 ± 1 wk compared with 10 ± 1 weeks (n = 6), 22 ± 1 weeks (n = 5), and 40 ± 1 weeks (n = 4) (P < .05). B, Serum IMD levels in spontaneously aborted pregnancies at 9 ± 1 weeks are significantly lower compared with age-matched elective abortions (P < .05; n = 13). Asterisk (*) indicates a significant difference between the groups.
