Direct evidence to support the role of HLA-G in protecting the fetus from maternal uterine natural killer cytolysis
14 Oct 1997
Abstract excerpt
HLA-G is a nonclassical major histocompatibility complex class I molecule selectively expressed on cytotrophoblasts at the feto-maternal interface, where it may play an important role in maternal tolerance of the fetus. We provide direct evidence under physiological conditions that supports the role of HLA-G in protecting cytotrophoblasts against natural killer (NK) cytolysis in 6 semiallogenic combinations of...
