The adaptive immune system of placental mammals has evolved to tolerate the fetus. Rejection of the fetus by adaptive immune responses is therefore a rare event, with abortion being caused more frequently by inflammation in the placenta. This review will cover recent aspects of immune privilege and the innate immune system at the feto-maternal interface, citing examples of the role played by microbial infections in fetal demise.
胎盘哺乳动物的适应性免疫系统已经进化到能够耐受胎儿。因此,适应性免疫反应对胎儿的排斥是罕见事件,流产更常见的原因是胎盘炎症。本综述将涵盖胎儿-母体界面免疫特权和固有免疫系统的最新研究进展,并列举微生物感染在胎儿死亡中所起作用的实例。
