Role of Dendritic Cells in the Regulation of Maternal Immune Responses to the Fetus During Mammalian Gestation
1 Jul 2008
Abstract excerpt
Successful mammalian pregnancy relies on the action of sophisticated regulatory mechanisms that allow the fetus (a semi-allograft) to grow and develop in the uterus in spite of being recognized by maternal immune cells. Among several immunocompetent cells present at the maternal fetal interface, dendritic cells (DC) seem to be of particular relevance for pregnancy maintenance given their unique ability to induce...
