Amniotic Fluid Defensins: Potential Markers of Subclinical Intrauterine Infection

1 Sept 1998

Abstract excerpt

Human neutrophil peptides 1-3 (defensins) are granule constituents released from activated neutrophils. We hypothesized that amniotic fluid (AF) defensin levels are elevated in preterm labor (PTL) patients with subclinical intrauterine infection (IUI). AF samples were obtained from 203 pregnant patients with varying clinical characteristics. Defensin levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay....
