Term and preterm labor: decreased suppressive activity and changes in composition of the regulatory T‐cell pool
3 Jul 2012
Abstract excerpt
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) exert a key role in tolerance induction to the semi-allogeneic fetus. Currently, it is not known whether immunological rejection processes are involved in the induction of normal term or irresistible preterm labor. In this study, we examined whether there were differences in the percentage of the total CD4(+)CD127(low+/-)CD25(+)FoxP3(+)-Treg-cell pool, its suppressive activity and its...
