Evidence for complement activation in the amniotic fluid of women with spontaneous preterm labor and intra-amniotic infection

8 Oct 2009

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: The complement system plays an important role in host defense against infection. Concentrations of complement split products or anaphylatoxins (C3a, C4a, and C5a) in biological fluids are considered to reflect complement activation. The purpose of this study was to determine if term and preterm parturition are associated with evidence of complement activation in the amniotic fluid. STUDY DESIGN:...
