CCR8 + decidual regulatory T cells maintain maternal-fetal immune tolerance during early pregnancy

Abstract excerpt

Regulatory T (T reg ) cells play a vital role in maintaining maternal immune tolerance to the semiallogeneic fetus during pregnancy. T reg cell population heterogeneity and tissue-specific functions in the human decidua remain largely unknown. Here, using single-cell transcriptomic and T cell receptor sequencing of human CD4 + T cells from first-trimester deciduae and matched peripheral blood of pregnant women,...
