The role of uterine natural killer cell-inhibition in pregnancy

2020-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Education of natural killer (NK) cells is a genetically determined process that primes NK-cell activity upon the binding of their inhibitory receptors to self-ligands. Although NK-cell education is predictable and measurable in the laboratory, its biological significance is unknown. This thesis shows that the inhibitory NK cell receptor NKG2A protects against the hypertensive disorder of pregnancy pre-eclampsia in...
