| Abstract: | INTRODUCTION:
TNFα belongs to the Th1 family of cytokines. This
pro-inflammatory cytokine has been suggested to
play a critical role in early pregnancy and the
pathogenesis of miscarriage. However, control of
TNFα secretion in the placenta in early pregnancy is
yet unknown. AIMS: The objective is to investigate placental TNFα secretion at different gestations (6-14 weeks) in the first trimester normal placenta derived from surgical terminations (TOPs). The effect of different concentrations of coelomic fluid (CF) on TNFα secretion of normal placenta was also investigated. |
