Herpes gestationis: studies on the binding characteristics, activity and pathogenetic significance of the complement-fixing factor.

abstract：:Antigen- and mitogen-stimulated cytokine production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of 50 pregnant women and 31 age- and sex-matched non-pregnant controls were analysed to determine whether changes in cytokine production occur during normal and pathologic human gestation. The pregnant women, consecutively...
