Origin, phenotype and function of human natural killer cells in pregnancy.

Trends in immunology - 1 Nov 2011

Vacca Paola, Moretta Lorenzo, Moretta Alessandro, Mingari Maria Cristina

Abstract excerpt

During the early phases of pregnancy, natural killer (NK) cells are the predominant lymphoid cells in the human decidua. Here, rather than act as killers and/or drivers of inflammation, NK cells contribute to tissue building and remodeling and formation of new vessels due to the release of interl...
