Immunological rejection of the fetus due to recognition of paternal antigens by the maternal
immune system, resulting in abnormal immune cells and cytokine production, is postulated …

Immune responses play an important role in various reproductive processes, including
ovulation, menstruation and parturition. Clearly, during pregnancy, when the mother must …

Epstein‐Barr virus‐induced gene 3 (EBI3) and the p35 subunit of IL‐12 have been reported
to form a heterodimeric hematopoietin in human and mouse. We have constructed a …

purpose. The immunogenic characterization of amniotic membrane is still unknown. This
study was designed to examine the immunogenicity of human amniotic membrane, by using …

The nonpolymorphic soluble HLA-G1 (sHLA-G1) isoform has been reported to be secreted
by trophoblast cells at the materno-fetal interface, suggesting that it may act as …

Conversion of the maternal spiral arteries into larger competent vessels is one of the
essential steps in the development of the normal placenta. This process is apparently …

The immunological relationship between the mother and the fetus is a bi-directional
communication determined on the one hand by fetal antigen presentation and on the other …

Pre-eclampsia, a common complication of first pregnancies, is thought to result from a poorly
perfused placenta and may reflect an abnormal maternal immune reaction to the …

Human reproductive failure may be a consequence of aberrant expression of immunological
factors during pregnancy. Although the relative importance of immunological factors in …

The HLA-G gene is primarily expressed in placental cells that invade the maternal decidua
during pregnancy. This gene encodes multiple isoforms that fulfill a variety of functions at the …
