Publisher Description: This volume focuses on one of the key areas of research within the rapidly developing field of reproductive immunology, providing a thorough account of immunoregulation and genetic interactions at the maternal-fetal interface. Internationally known experts examine both animal models and human experimental and clinical research, moving systematically from maternal systemic immunity to decidual tissue, the trophoblast, fetal survival, and tissue therapy. The contributors consider both the immunology and the immunogenetics of the maternal and fetal tissues involved in immune interaction during pregnancy, and establish a new view of how the maternal immune system interacts with embryonic and fetal tissue to influence fetal survival. |
