Detection of Human Defensins in the Placenta

1 Oct 1997

Abstract excerpt

PROBLEM: The placenta is a highly selective barrier against the hematogenous dissemination of infectious agents. Despite the presence of seemingly intact physical and immunologic barriers, infections nonetheless occur. These observations prompted the examination of placental tissue, amnion, and chorion for previously unrecognized protective mechanisms. METHOD OF STUDY: Messenger RNA from term placenta, amnion,...
