Maternal CD46H*2 and IL1B-511*1 homozygosity in T helper 1-type immunity to trophoblast antigens in recurrent pregnancy loss (2006)

Wang, Zhigang C., Hill, Joseph A., Yunis, Edmond J., Xiao, Ling, Anderson, Deborah J.

BACKGROUND: Women with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and T-helper (Th)1-type immunity to trophoblast antigens have an increased frequency of the IL1B-511*1 promoter variant. Since CD46 gene products...

Immunological Microenvironments in the Human Vagina and Cervix: Mediators of Cellular Immunity Are Concentrated in the Cervical Transformation Zone1 (2005)

Jeffrey Pudney, Alison J. Quayle, Deborah J. Anderson

Cell-mediated immunity (CMI) is key to defense against intracellular pathogens such as Chlamydia trachomatis and viruses that infect the lower female genital tract, but little is known about CMI at...
