A progesterone-dependent immunomodulatory protein alters the Th1 Th2 balance

TL;DR: The data indicate that the PIBF affects the Th1/Th2 balance, and via altered cytokine ratios it contributes to decreased cell-mediated responses during pregnancy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunological relationship between the mother and the fetus.

TL;DR: There is evidence now that immunological recognition of pregnancy is important for the maintenance of gestation, and that inadequate recognition of fetal antigens might result in failed pregnancy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Progesterone During Pregnancy: Endocrine–Immune Cross Talk in Mammalian Species and the Role of Stress

TL;DR: Progesterone is critical for the establishment and the maintenance of pregnancy, both by its endocrine and immunological effects as mentioned in this paper, and it plays a role in uterine homing of NK cells and up-regulates HLA-G gene expression, the ligand for various NK inhibitory receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Progesterone as an immunomodulatory molecule

TL;DR: Progesterone binding results in the synthesis of a mediator protein named the progesterone-induced blocking factor (PIBF), which by acting on the phospholipase A2 enzyme interferes with arachidonic acid metabolism, induces a Th2 biased immune response, and by controlling NK activity exerts an anti-abortive effect.
