Regulation of pregnancy maintenance and fetal survival in mice by CD27low mature NK cells
Abstract
Uterine natural killer (NK) cells are pivotal for successful mammalian reproduction. However, insights on functionally distinct subpopulations of uterine NK cells are largely elusive. Furthermore, translation of findings from murine into human pregnancy has been overshadowed by the limited number of mutual phenotypic NK cell markers. We here provide evidence that a subset of murine mature NK (mNK) cells present at the feto-maternal interface, …
