简介:最近的学习建议了那个天生的免疫系统可能在怀孕前进起一个重要作用。在这研究,调查而不是T房间,NK房间和NKT房间是否是在早怀孕的外部血的主导的人口,流动cytometry被用来检测百分比和T房间的细胞内部的cytokine表情,NK房间,在非怀孕的女人和早怀孕的women.In的外部血的NKT房间我们的结果,NK房间的百分比和NKT房间显著地与非怀孕相比在怀孕被增加。然而,T房间的百分比没被改变。我们没在早怀孕的女人的外部血检测全部的淋巴细胞或T房间的Th2优势,也在NK和NKT房间没有在T房间,而是IFN-生产的类型1和类型2cytokines的重要变化在早怀孕被减少。这些结果建议包括NK房间和NKT房间的天生的免疫系统应该在怀孕前进起一个枢轴的作用。在天生的免疫系统的2移动机制应该在人的早怀孕期间被付更多的注意的类型1/type。
