lüll A balancing act: mechanisms by which the fetus avoids rejection by the maternal immune system Warning JC; McCracken SA; Morris JMReproduction 2011[Jun]; 141 (6): 715-24Successful pregnancy requires strict temporal regulation of maternal immune function to accommodate the growing fetus. Early implantation is facilitated by inflammatory processes that ensure adequate vascular remodeling and placental invasion. To prevent rejection of the fetus, this inflammation must be curtailed; reproductive immunologists are discovering that this process is orchestrated by the fetal unit and, in particular, the extravillous trophoblast. Soluble and particulate factors produced by the trophoblast regulate maternal immune cells within the decidua, as well as in the periphery. The aim of this review is to discuss the action of recently discovered immunomodulatory factors and mechanisms, and the potential effects of dysregulation of such mechanisms on the maternal immune response that may result in pregnancy loss or preeclampsia.|*Immune Tolerance[MESH]|Abortion, Spontaneous/immunology/*prevention & control[MESH]|Adaptive Immunity[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Decidua/*immunology[MESH]|Embryo Implantation/immunology[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Fetus/*immunology[MESH]|Gestational Age[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Immunity, Innate[MESH]|Immunomodulation[MESH]|Inflammation Mediators/metabolism[MESH]|Pre-Eclampsia/immunology/*prevention & control[MESH]|Pregnancy[MESH]|Signal Transduction/immunology[MESH]|Trophoblasts/*immunology[MESH] |
