Natural Cytotoxicity Receptors in Decidua Natural Killer Cells of Term Normal Pregnancy

Figure 7

Production of cytokine from CD56+ cells during normal term pregnancy. (a) No significant difference was detected in the percentage of IFN-γ producing CD56+ lymphocytes between peripheral blood and decidua. (b) The percentages of TNF-α producing CD56+ lymphocytes in decidua were higher than those in peripheral blood. (c) The percentages of IL-10 producing CD56+ lymphocytes in decidua were higher than those in peripheral blood. (d) The percentages of TGF-β producing CD56+ lymphocytes in decidua were higher than those in peripheral blood.
