Human chorionic gonadotropin completely inhibits the response of lymphocytes to phytohemagglutinin. The effect is both reversible and noncytotoxic. These observations support the theory that the fetus is accepted because human chorionic gonadotropin represents trophoblastic surface antigen and blocks the action of maternal lymphocytes.
人绒毛膜促性腺激素完全抑制淋巴细胞对植物血凝素的反应。这种作用是可逆的且无细胞毒性。这些观察结果支持了以下理论:胎儿之所以被母体接受,是因为人绒毛膜促性腺激素代表滋养层表面抗原并阻断母体淋巴细胞的作用。
