Evolution of mammalian pregnancy in the presence of the maternal immune system

1 May 2000

Abstract excerpt

Eutherian mammals have inherited a typical vertebrate immune system, which protects the body against infectious organisms by detecting and destroying foreign biological material. However, with the evolution of longer gestation periods, this protective mechanism became a potential threat to the 'semi-foreign' fetus and so eutherians have developed systems to prevent immune rejection of their developing fetuses. In...
