Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of placental protein 14 as an immunosuppressive factor in human reproduction.
A.E. Bolton,K. J.Clough,R.J. Stoker,Alan Graham Pockley,E.A. Mowles,Olwyn M. R. Westwood,Michael Chapman +6 more
TL;DR: Extracts of human decidual tissue obtained in the first trimester of pregnancy showed potent suppressive activity in mixed lymphocyte cultures, and PP14 may be an important immunomodulator in the human reproductive system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Origin of reactive oxygen species in human semen: spermatozoa or leucocytes?
TL;DR: It is demonstrated by performing extraction experiments with antibody-coated magnetic beads that, within this unselected population of patients, leucocytes were the major source of ROS in the low-density Percoll fraction.
Journal ArticleDOI
The removal of morphologically abnormal sperm forms by phagocytes: a positive role for seminal leukocytes?
TL;DR: Data from semen analysis, along with repeated observation of spermatozoa or sperm fragments within phagocytic cells, support the hypothesis that leukocytes have a role in the removal of abnormal spermatozosa from the ejaculate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional significance of white blood cells in the male and female reproductive tract
TL;DR: With the advent of modern techniques, e.g. monoclonal antibodies and sophisticated sperm function tests, many of the questions raised should be answered in the near future.
Journal ArticleDOI
The leukocytic reaction of the human uterine cervix.
TL;DR: Sperm interaction with the immune system of the human cervix is poorly understood and the role of sperm-to-cervix interaction in women’s health is still poorly understood.
