Glycodelin-A modulates cytokine production of peripheral blood natural killer cells.

摘要

Glycodelin-A increased the secretion of interleukin-6, interleukin-13, and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor from natural killer cells in the peripheral blood but does not affect their viability, cell death, and cytotoxicity. These data suggest that glycodelin-A contributes to the cytokine shift in early pregnancy.
