Fas‐Fas Ligand System‐Induced Apoptosis in Human Placenta and Gestational Trophoblastic Disease
1 Aug 1998
Abstract excerpt
PROBLEM: The low frequency of maternal immune responses to paternally inherited fetal antigens raises the following question: What regulates the immunobiology of pregnancy? Data suggest that this state is the result of peripheral immune-tolerance, an active process of immune-regulation in which activated T cells undergo apoptosis. We studied Fas ligand (FasL) expression and apoptosis in normal and pathologic...
