Molecular and cellular immunobiology of the maternal fetal interface

The molecular and cellular nature of maternal-fetal immune signalling: an overview PART I: FETAL MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX: Class I gene products in the human placenta and extraplacenta membranes Unusual HLA class I expression on human cytotrophoblast cells, and on a choriocarcinoma cell line Genetic studies of the MHC region in human recurrent spontaneous abortion Characterization of the class I antigen of the rat placenta encoded by cDNA clone pARI.5 Analysis of MHC-linked genes affecting development Expression of major histocompatibility complex class I genes in murine extra-embryonic tissues PART II: DECIDUAL EFFECTOR CELLS: Human trophoblast-decidua interaction in vitro Immune cell populations in the human early pregnancy decidua Immunobiological features of murine trophoblast Inhibition of macrophage and T-lymphocyte functions in the placenta and decidua during listeriosis: implications for tolerance of the fetoplacental allograft Is there an essential requirement for bone marrow-derived cells at the fetomaternal interface during successful pregnancy? A study of pregnancies in immunodeficient mice PART III: CYTOKINES: In vitro models of maternal fetal interface Adverse effects of immune cell products in pregnancy T-cell products in implantation: role of putative suppressor factors Interferons secreted by sheep conceptuses are involved in maternal recognition of pregnancy Colony-stimulating factor-1: a growth factor for trophoblasts? The placenta as an immune-endocrine interface: placental cells as targets for lymphohaematopoietic cytokine stimulation Immunological and endocrinological factors that contribute to successful pregnancy Role of a factor related to Transforming Growth Factor Beta-2 in successful pregnancy Index.
