| Popis: | We have previously reported natural killer (NK) cell activity during pregnancy, and the effects of maternal sera on NK cell activity. In this study we explored the effects of hormone and protein increases during pregnancy on NK cell activity. Among hormones and proteins, estradiol, progesterone and alpha-fetoprotein did not suppress NK cell activity but human chorionic godadotropin (HCG) significantly, and cortisol moderately suppressed NK cell activity. |
