Evidence for a Role for the Adaptive Immune Response in Human Term Parturition

TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to characterize the immunophenotype of choriodecidual leukocytes as well as the expression of inflammatory mediators in human spontaneous parturition at term.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fetal membranes exhibit selective leukocyte chemotaxic activity during human labor.

TL;DR: It is concluded that fetal membrane extracts obtained from women during labor exhibit selective chemotaxis for specific leukocyte subpopulations in vitro, which may contribute to a microenvironment composed of specificLeukocytes that promotes and amplifies biochemical changes in the fetal membranes during labor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Innate Immune Cells and Toll-like Receptor-Dependent Responses at the Maternal-Fetal Interface.

TL;DR: Some of the various roles that the innate immune system plays at the maternal–fetal interface are outlined, in terms of their specific cytokine/chemokine/antimicrobial peptide expression profiles throughout pregnancy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Progesterone Elicits an Inhibitory Effect upon LPS-Induced Innate Immune Response in Pre-Labor Human Amniotic Epithelium

TL;DR: Infection of human fetal membranes elicits secretion of pro‐inflammatory modulators through its innate immune capacities and the effect of lipopolysacharide and progesterone upon expression of TLR‐4/MyD88, TNFα,IL‐6, IL‐8, IL-10, and HBD2 on the human amniotic epithelium is investigated.
