FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to field of medicine, namely to diagnostic methods and deals with method of diagnosing entry of nuclei of placenta pili syncyotrophoblast into apoptosis by determining in placenta homogenate content of IgG and IgM antibodies to phosphatidylserine in pregnant women, who had herpes-virus infection in the third trimester of pregnancy. Method lies in determination of IgG and IgM antibodies to phosphatidylserine in placenta homogenate by ELISA method. If titre of antibodies to HSV-1 equalled 1:6400, 4.70±0.08 U/ml of IgG and IgM antibodies to phosphatidylserine were detected; if titre was 1:12800, content of IgG and IgM antibodies to phosphatidylserine increased to 5.60±0.06 U/ml (control - 2.50±0.07 U/ml), number of syncyotrophoblast nuclei in state of apoptosis constituted 4.50±0.20% (control - 1.5±0.20%).
EFFECT: method possesses high sensitivity and allows to predict development of apoptosis in nuclei of placenta pili syncyotrophoblast in case if number of IgG and IgM antibodies to phosphatidylserine in placenta grows.
