Maternal-fetal mixed lymphocyte reactivity in pre-eclampsia. 1977

P Curzen, and E Jones, and J M Gaugas

Two-way mixed lymphocyte reactivity (2-way-MLR) between maternal and fetal lymphocytes in vitro, and one-way mixed lymphocyte reactivity (1-way-MLR) of maternal lymphocytes (responders) to stimulation by mitomycin-treated fetal lymphocytes (stimulators), were investigated in normal and pre-eclamptic pregnancies. No relationship was observed between pre-eclampsia and the 2-way-MLR. The 1-way-MLR was lowest in normal pregnancy, higher in mild pre-eclampsia, and highest in severe pre-eclampsia, although none of these differences were statistically significant.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007959 Lymphocyte Culture Test, Mixed Measure of histocompatibility at the HL-A locus. Peripheral blood lymphocytes from two individuals are mixed together in tissue culture for several days. Lymphocytes from incompatible individuals will stimulate each other to proliferate significantly (measured by tritiated thymidine uptake) whereas those from compatible individuals will not. In the one-way MLC test, the lymphocytes from one of the individuals are inactivated (usually by treatment with MITOMYCIN or radiation) thereby allowing only the untreated remaining population of cells to proliferate in response to foreign histocompatibility antigens.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
D011225 Pre-Eclampsia A complication of PREGNANCY, characterized by a complex of symptoms including maternal HYPERTENSION and PROTEINURIA with or without pathological EDEMA. Symptoms may range between mild and severe. Pre-eclampsia usually occurs after the 20th week of gestation, but may develop before this time in the presence of trophoblastic disease.

D005312 Fetal Blood Blood of the fetus. Exchange of nutrients and waste between the fetal and maternal blood occurs via the PLACENTA. The cord blood is blood contained in the umbilical vessels (UMBILICAL CORD) at the time of delivery.
