Materno-Fetal Relationships

Immunological Aspects

The Immunology of Human Pregnancy

  • 53 Accesses

Abstract

The subjects of interest in this chapter are the immunological aspects of the interface between maternal tissue in the decidua and allogeneic fetal tissue in the trophoblast. It is obvious, however, that as pregnancy proceeds, the two tissues become so intimately intermingled that identification of a particular cell as originally being fetal or maternal can be impossible.
