Toll-like receptor-2 and -4 in the chorioamniotic membranes in spontaneous labor at term and in preterm parturition that are associated with chorioamnionitis

Article Abstract:

The Toll-like receptor-2 and -4 recognize microbial products in fetal membranes in response to labor at term and histologic chorioamnionitis was examined. Results reveal that spontaneous labor at term and preterm delivery with histologic chorioamnionitis, regardless of the membrane status are associated with an increased expression of Toll-like receptor-2 and -4 in the chorioamniotic membranes.

Phenotypic and metabolic characteristics of monocytes and granulocytes in normal pregnancy and maternal infection

Article Abstract:

The immune system of pregnant women is not maximally stimulated as it is during infection, according to a study of 93 women. The pregnant women had greater immune stimulation than non-pregnant women, but less immune stimulation than pregnant women with a bacterial infection.
