Viral-Immune Cell Interactions at the Maternal-Fetal Interface in Human Pregnancy
7 Oct 2020
Abstract excerpt
The human decidua and placenta form a distinct environment distinguished for its promotion of immunotolerance to infiltrating semiallogeneic trophoblast cells to enable successful pregnancy. The maternal-fetal interface also successfully precludes transmission of most pathogens. This barrier function occurs in conjunction with a diverse influx of decidual immune cells including natural killer cells, macrophages...
