Accumulation of CRTH2-positive T-helper 2 and T-cytotoxic 2 cells at implantation sites of human decidua in a prostaglandin D2-mediated manner
1 Feb 2002
Abstract excerpt
T-helper (Th) 2-type cytokines predominate in decidua, plausibly accounting for protection of a semiallograft, the embryo and placenta, from attack by the maternal immune system. However, localization of Th2 and T-cytotoxic (Tc) 2 cells in decidua has not been reported, presumably because of the difficulty in detecting intracellular cytokines in tissues. Here, by staining tissues for a novel surface maker of...
