OBJECTIVE To assess the modulation of T-cell CD3-zeta chain expression by a factor in the sera of women, prior to egg retrieval and 14 days after an in vitro fertilization (IVF) and to delineate the mechanism of this modulation. METHODS In this prospective study, blood samples were obtained from 17 patients during an IVF cycle, prior to human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), and 14 days after embryo return. Serum was incubated with cultured T-lymphocytes (Jurkat cells) for 96 hr and expression of CD3-zeta chain was evaluated. RESULTS Eight patients had a positive serum hCG titer 14 days after retrieval, while nine patients had a negative hCG titer. Serum from pregnant patients significantly suppressed CD3-zeta chain expression as compared with their sample prior to retrieval (85.6 +/- 6.2%), while subjects not becoming pregnant failed to suppress zeta expression (99.1 +/- 0.9%, P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS A factor capable of suppressing TcR/CD3-zeta expression can be detected in the sera of pregnant women 14 days after embryo retrieval. Loss of zeta chain was associated with the induction of apoptosis.

D011948 Receptors, Antigen, T-Cell Molecules on the surface of T-lymphocytes that recognize and combine with antigens. The receptors are non-covalently associated with a complex of several polypeptides collectively called CD3 antigens (CD3 COMPLEX). Recognition of foreign antigen and the major histocompatibility complex is accomplished by a single heterodimeric antigen-receptor structure, composed of either alpha-beta (RECEPTORS, ANTIGEN, T-CELL, ALPHA-BETA) or gamma-delta (RECEPTORS, ANTIGEN, T-CELL, GAMMA-DELTA) chains.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.

D017209 Apoptosis A regulated cell death mechanism characterized by distinctive morphologic changes in the nucleus and cytoplasm, including the endonucleolytic cleavage of genomic DNA, at regularly spaced, internucleosomal sites, i.e., DNA FRAGMENTATION. It is genetically programmed and serves as a balance to mitosis in regulating the size of animal tissues and in mediating pathologic processes associated with tumor growth.
