Popis: Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune thrombophilia that is characterised by thrombosis and obstetric complications in the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL). Pregnancy complications remain a challenging problem for patients with APS, especially during the first trimester. Although natural killer (NK) cells constitute up to 70% of decidual lymphocytes during the first trimester, their contribution to early pregnancy loss in APS is largely unknown. We aimed to analyse whether aPL are able to recruit antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) of NK cells, with special emphasis on the differences in the effects of aPL containing anti-β2GPI domain 1 (anti-β2GPI-D1) antibodies (aPL+/D1+) and those that do not (aPL+/D1-). Our findings revealed a differential distribution of NK subsets in the presence of different aPL. Namely, aPL+/D1- IgGs increased CD56
