The human foetus is separated from the maternal blood by the syncytiotrophoblast induced by endogeneous human retrovirus-encoded proteins. This barrier is a highly developed one, which suppors apical-basolateral transport of maternal idiotype and anti-idiotype IgG, IgG-virus complexes. The selective maternal-fetal transport of epitope- and paratope-bearing entities can influence the developping fetal immune system during pregnancy. The bidirectional maternal-fetal transfer of cells are of even more importance during pregnancy. Maternal cells with latent viruses transport viruses without impairment of fetal development. Cells with premaligant and malignant genetic transformation are also transported to the fetus. Fetal and neonatal tumours are initiated by such cells in spite of the antitumour potential of fetal organism. On the contary, the fetal cells repair maternal tissue injouries and survive in the organisms of the recipients for decades. These possess new consequences for the neonatal immunity and organ transplatation surgery.

Provides complete and up to date review of current knowledge of the role of the immune system during pregnancy and the interactions between the placenta and the maternal immune system.

In recent years it has come to be generally recognized that, directly or indirectly, immunology intrudes into nearly every aspect of human reproduction. The discovered importance of the natural transfer of immunity from mother to offspring, the ontogeny of the immune response, and the recognition of pregnancy as an example of the mother-embryo interaction, are only a few components of the multifaceted field known as the immunology of reproduction. In this book, we have compiled material, obtained in our laboratories and gleaned from the modern publications illustrating ongoing research in the field of reproductive immunology on the immune system in human intrauterine development. Many new approaches have been postulated and published in recent years, enough to warrant bringing them together in one place. In this book, we focus our attention mainly on the application of humoral and cellular changes that describe the role of immune systems in human intrauterine development. A substantial area of the reproductive immunology deals with the issue of the maternal-fetal conflict and the survival of the embryo/fetus as an allograft. Although much efforts has been invested in describing different aspects of this problem, relationships between the pregnant mother and her developing fetus are not yet fully understood from an immunological point of a view. The role of the fetal immune system in its survival and in the maintenance of pregnancy have only been scanty studied, especially with respect to the secretory immune system. General skepticism has been developed regarding the diagnosis and treatment of recurrent spontaneous abortions. In our research, we have described changes in the secretory immune system of the embryo/fetus and mother as possible reasons for such abortions and we hope that these findings will yield a better understanding of the mechanism underlying this phenomenon. For many years, our laboratories have been studying the pathology of fetuses and the immune response of their lymphoid systems to experimentally induced disorders in laboratory animals (mice and rats) and under some diseases in humans, such as hemolytic disease of fetuses and newborns, sepsis of fetuses, and others. In the last decade, we have concentrated our efforts on studying the immune protection of human embryos and fetuses under non-antigen and antigen-induced diseases, studying the secretory (mucosal) immune system. The changes in the different types of immune systems in the intrauterine-developing organism in normal pregnancy, under non-infectious pathology and under infectious effects as well as under mother-fetus immune conflict are discussed in this book. The protective role of mononuclear phagocytes and the non-villous infiltrating trophoblast is analyzed. The pathological morphology of some immune and inflammatory processes, including massive apoptosis of embryonic cells, is also discussed. We hope that the problems described in this book will be of interest to people with various professional orientations, such as physicians and researchers in the field of obstetrics and gynecology, reproductive immunology and intrauterine human development, as well as medical students. For the clinician and scientists in other areas of medicine, pregnancy provides an area in which many immunological ideas can be tested. This is particularly true now that the impact of pregnancy impacts on the maternal immune system is becoming better understood.

Cancer and Pregnancy covers the clinical challenges to diagnosing and treating malignancies in the pregnant patient; however, the book also shows how an understanding of the common features of both processes (rapid cell proliferation) may lead to novel anti-cancer treatment options. The book should be read by obstetricians and gynaecologists, clinical oncologists, reproduction specialists, and those involved in investigation of development, biology, toxicology, immunology, as well as cancer research.

Over the last several decades, many biologists have been intrigued with the "immunological paradox" of pregnancy, where maternal and fetal tissues peaceably coexist despite their genetic differences. With the development of new insights on the interactive components of the immune system as well as the generation of powerful new molecular and cellular tools, singular progress has been made in understanding immunological events that culminate in successful pregnancy. This volume contains the proceedings for the first US symposium on the "Immunobiology of Reproduction" held August 26 - 29, 1993 in Boston, Massachusetts. Papers address hemotopoietic cells in reproductive tissues; growth factors/cytokines in the female reproductive tract and placenta; growth factor networks in pregnancy loss and cancer; placental expression of major histocompatibility complex and associated genes; experimental models of MHC gene expression; and immunological aspects of human infertility.

Reproductive Immunology: Basic Concepts gives a holistic insight into the understanding of the complex interactions between the maternal immune system and the fetal/placental unit necessary for the success of pregnancy. This interaction is critical for the support of the human fetal semiallograft and the protection against infections. The book covers various topics such as B cells, macrophages, T cells, discussion on fetal signals and their impact on maternal reproductive cells such as endometrial cells, mast cells, and the role of fetal Hofbauer cells, the immune regulatory role of glucorticoids, and many other novel topics within the field of reproductive immunology. Edited and written by experts in the field, this book introduces the up-to-date knowledge of the role of the immune system during pregnancy and provides the necessary background to understand pregnancy complications associated with alterations in the functioning of the immune system. The book provides a complete discussion on the immunological aspects of pregnancy and serves as a great tool for research scientists, students, reproductive immunologists and OBGYNs. Shows the detailed evaluation of the knowledge related to each immune cell type in the pregnant and not pregnant uterus Evaluates each immune cell type and its function during specific reproductive events Provides the biological background for understanding the clinical aspects that will be discussed in subsequent volumes in the series

This book systematically reviews and discusses recent studies and articles on the immunology of female genital tract tissue. The scope is broad, encompassing innate immune responses, adaptive (humoral and cell-mediated) immunity, the immunology of menstruation, the immunology of viral and bacterial infections, the immunology of normal and abnormal pregnancy, and immunological infertility. Throughout, tables and illustrations are judiciously used to facilitate understanding. Immunology of the Female Genital Tract will serve as an invaluable source of up-to-date information for all with an interest in this subject.

The 29 papers contained in this volume look closely at various aspects of what is termed, "The Maternal-Fetal Interface," as it relates to the latest research in placental science. A substantial section of the book is devoted to the troublesome question of vertical transmission of infectious agents: namely, the HIV-1 virus. However, other sections of the volume examine related issues such as drug and toxin transfer across the term placenta and the diversity of placental types and how this can affect a placenta's effectiveness as a barrier.
