Passive Immunization against the MHC Class I Molecule Mamu-AG Disrupts Rhesus Placental Development and Endometrial Responses
1 Dec 2007
Abstract excerpt
The unique MHC phenotype of the human and nonhuman primate placenta has suggested a potential role in maternal-fetal immune tolerance, pregnancy success, and maternal as well as fetal well-being. In the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta) a nonclassical MHC class I molecule, Mamu-AG, is a putative homologue of HLA-G and is hypothesized to play a role in maternal-fetal immune interactions during pregnancy.
