Progesterone-modulated phosphatidylserine externalization in apoptosis and activation of Jurkat cells.

Problem: During pregnancy the elevated levels of progesterone (Pg) have immunomodulating effects. It is important to follow-up Pg effects on basic biological processes at cell level as apoptosis and activation which was the aim of this study.

Methods Of Study: Jurkat cells cultured in the presence or absence of Pg were used as a model system.
