- ItemCellular immune responses in amniotic fluid of women with preterm prelabor rupture of membranes(WALTER DE GRUYTER GMBH, 2020) Galaz, Jose; Romero, Roberto; Slutsky, Rebecca; Xu, Yi; Motomura, Kenichiro; Para, Robert; Pacora, Percy; Panaitescu, Bogdan; Hsu, Chaur Dong; Kacerovsky, Marian; Gomez Lopez, NardhyBackground: Preterm birth is the leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (pPROM) occurs in 30% of preterm births; thus, this complication is a major contributor to maternal and neonatal morbidity. However, the cellular immune responses in amniotic fluid of women with pPROM have not been investigated.
- ItemClinical chorioamnionitis at term IX : in vivo evidence of intra-amniotic inflammasome activation(2019) Gomez-López, Nardhy; Romero, Roberto; Maymon, Ely; Kusanovic, Juan Pedro; Panaitescu, Bogdan; Miller, Derek; Pacora, Percy; Tarca, Adi L.; Motomura, Kenichiro; Erez, Offer; Jung, Eunjung J.; Hassan, Sonia S.; Hsu, Chaur Dong
- ItemThe immunophenotype of amniotic fluid leukocytes in normal and complicated pregnancies(WILEY, 2018) Gomez Lopez, Nardhy; Romero, Roberto; Xu, Yi; Miller, Derek; Leng, Yaozhu; Panaitescu, Bogdan; Silva, Pablo; Faro, Jonathan; Alhousseini, Ali; Gill, Navleen; Hassan, Sonia S.; Hsu, Chaur DongProblemThe immune cellular composition of amniotic fluid is poorly understood. Herein, we determined: 1) the immunophenotype of amniotic fluid immune cells during the second and third trimester in the absence of intra-amniotic infection/inflammation; 2) whether amniotic fluid T cells and ILCs display different phenotypical characteristics to that of peripheral cells; and 3) whether the amniotic fluid immune cells are altered in women with intra-amniotic infection/inflammation.
