Placental Cellular Immune Response in Women Infected with Human Parvovirus B19 during Pregnancy

Abstract excerpt

Human parvovirus B19 can cause congenital infection with variable morbidity and mortality in the fetus and neonate. Although much information exists on the B19-specific antibody response in pregnant women, little information is available describing the cell-mediated immune (CMI) response at the maternal-fetal interface.
