Granulocytic myeloid derived suppressor cells expand in human pregnancy and modulate T ‐cell responses
3 Jun 2014
Abstract excerpt
Immune tolerance toward the semiallogeneic fetus plays a crucial role in the maintenance of pregnancy. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are innate immune cells characterized by their ability to modulate T-cell responses. Recently, we showed that MDSCs accumulate in cord blood of healthy newborns, yet their role in materno-fetal tolerance remained elusive. In the present study, we demonstrate that MDSCs...
