Immunological adaptations in pregnancy allow maternal tolerance of the semi-allogeneic
fetus but also increase maternal susceptibility to infection. At implantation, the endometrial …

The comparison of the immunological state of pregnancy to an immunosuppressed host–
graft model continues to lead research and clinical practice to ill-defined approaches. This …

Viral infections during pregnancy can have devastating consequences on pregnancy
outcomes, fetal development, and maternal health. In this review, we examine fetal and …

Pregnancy requires physiologic adaptations in all maternal systems, including the immune
system. This process is complex and includes modifications at different levels and …

Viral infections during pregnancy lead to a spectrum of maternal and fetal outcomes, ranging
from asymptomatic disease to more critical conditions presenting with severe maternal …

Viral infections during pregnancy are associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes,
including maternal and fetal mortality, pregnancy loss, premature labor, and congenital …

The immune system in humans is a complex system capable of discriminating self from non-
self, and mounting appropriate allogenic immune responses to protect themselves from …

Mammalian gestation creates an immunological paradox wherein the body must balance
tolerance of an allogeneic fetus with protection against invading pathogens. Pregnancy has …

The fetal‐maternal immune system determines the fate of pregnancy. The trophoblast cells
not only give an active response against external stimuli but are also involved in secreting …

Antigen‐presenting molecules vary between individuals of the same species, making it more
difficult for pathogens to evade immune recognition and spread through the whole …
