- ItemA Signature of Maternal Anti-Fetal Rejection in Spontaneous Preterm Birth: Chronic Chorioamnionitis, Anti-Human Leukocyte Antigen Antibodies, and C4d(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2011) Lee, JoonHo; Romero, Roberto; Xu, Yi; Kim, Jung Sun; Topping, Vanessa; Yoo, Wonsuk; Pedro Kusanovic, Juan; Chaiworapongsa, Tinnakorn; Hassan, Sonia S.; Yoon, Bo Hyun; Kim, Chong JaiBackground: Chronic chorioamnionitis is found in more than one-third of spontaneous preterm births. Chronic chorioamnionitis and villitis of unknown etiology represent maternal anti-fetal cellular rejection. Antibody-mediated rejection is another type of transplantation rejection. We investigated whether there was evidence for antibody-mediated rejection against the fetus in spontaneous preterm birth.
