Decreased Frequency of CD8HLA-G T Cell in the Peripheral Blood of Primary Unexplained Infertile Females.

Most of the findings have focused on the importance of CD4HLA-G and CD8HLA-G regulatory T cells (Treg) during pregnancy. It has been demonstrated that these HLA-G T cell subsets could induce maternal immune tolerance against semi-allogenic conceptus during pregnancy.
