| Abstract: |
While self-reactive Treg cells contribute to the maintenance of self-tolerance, paternal antigen-specific T cells control the immune response to paternal antigen expressing cells. Paternal antigen-specific Treg cells accumulate in the murine placenta, and recent studies have identified these cells at the feto-maternal interface of humans. Because inflammation is implicated as a causal factor in preeclampsia and because Treg cells are able to control inflammation, the paper of Robertson et al. discusses the potential therapeutic use of Treg cells. The altered expression of galectins is associated with infertility and pregnancy complications, and their potential therapeutic role in pregnancy complications is also suggested.
