Relationship between decidual leukocyte infiltration and spontaneous abortion in a murine model of early fetal resorption

AJ Duclos, DK Pomerantz, MG Baines - Cellular immunology, 1994 - Elsevier
The relationship between the early cellular response to embryo implantation and
subsequent embryo survival was explored. Immunohistochemistry using the anti-CDI 1b
antibody (Mac-I) was used to localize and quantify maternal inflammatory cells present at the
fetoplacental interface. CDI 1b is expressed mostly on macrophages, but is also present on
natural killer (NK) cells, neutrophils, and B cells. The occurrence of CDI 1b-positive cells at
the fetoplacental interface was quantified in CBA/J females mated by DBA/2 males (20-30 …
