During the luteal phase and the early months of pregnancy, there is a dense mucosal
infiltration of CD56+ natural killer (NK) cells. These uterine NK cells have a phenotype …

The human uterine mucosa is infiltrated by large numbers of CD56+ natural killer (NK) cells
which are particularly abundant around the time of implantation and during early pregnancy …

The establishment of the human placenta in early pregnancy is characterized by the
presence of large numbers of natural killer (NK) cells within the maternal decidua in close …

The expression of natural killer (NK) cell receptors specific for HLA class I molecules has
been studied in CD56bright, CD3− NK cells isolated from the pregnant uterine mucosa, the …

The major leukocyte population in the decidua during the first trimester of pregnancy
consists of NK cells that express receptors capable of recognizing MHC class I molecules …

PROBLEM: To investigate the proposal that NK cells in decidua may control trophoblast
migration during implantation of the human placenta. METHOD: Use Mab specific for HLA‐G …

At the implantation site, the uterine mucosa (decidua) is infiltrated by large numbers of
natural killer (NK) cells. These NK cells are in close contact with the invading fetal …

Natural killer (NK) cells represent the most prominent immune cell type found in the uterus in
the first trimester of human pregnancy and in the secretory phase of menstrual cycle. The …

Natural killer (NK) cells account for 70% of the leukocytes in the mucosal lining of the uterus
(the decidua) in the first trimester of pregnancy. They are CD56 superbright granulated cells …

The main population of lymphocytes found in the human decidua during early pregnancy
are NK‐like cells with a distinctive phenotype, CD56bright CD16− CD3−. These cells are in …
