Abstract excerpt
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (INDO) catalyzes degradation of the indole ring of indoleamines and locally depletes tryptophan. INDO expression suppresses T cell proliferation and activation. Genetic variation in the INDO gene may contribute to the variable INDO enzyme expression, activity and severity of some diseases. Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is a common pregnancy complication and the exact causes of...
