Abstract excerpt
A population of uterine natural killer (NK) cells, commonly called granulated metrial gland (GMG) cells, differentiates in the mouse uterus during normal pregnancy. Little is known regarding the process of differentiation of GMG cells or of other NK cell subsets. It has been suggested that macrophage precursors, under the combined influences of the cytokine growth factors colony stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) and...
