Human decidual natural killer cells express the receptor for and respond to the cytokine interleukin 15.

Biology of reproduction - 1 Apr 2000

Verma S, Hiby S E, Loke Y W, King A

Abstract excerpt

The natural killer (NK) cells that are present in the uterine mucosa (decidua) during early pregnancy have a distinctive phenotype, CD56(bright) CD16(-). These cells have previously been shown to proliferate and be activated by interleukin (IL)-2. However, IL-2 is absent from the decidua and placenta, and we have therefore investigated whether IL-15 is present in the uterus and can act on decidual NK cells. Both...
