Analysis of TCR Repertoire and PD-1 Expression in Decidual and Peripheral CD8+ T Cells Reveals Distinct Immune Mechanisms in Miscarriage and Preeclampsia

Analysis of TCR Repertoire and PD-1 Expression in Decidual and Peripheral CD8+ T Cells Reveals Distinct Immune Mechanisms in Miscarriage and Preeclampsia

CD8+ T cells, the most abundant T cell subset in the decidua, play a critical role in the maintenance of pregnancy. The majority of decidual CD8+ T cells have an effector memory phenotype, while those in the peripheral blood display a naive phenotype. An increased amount of highly differentiated CD8...
