Abstract
In this brief sub-chapter we review first quickly pregnancy specific proteins (which were at the time seen in a context of general dampening of maternal immune response) to discuss then anergy inducing placental factors and exosomes. We finish by dealing with placenta integrated retroviruses, and their immunosuppressive properties.
Keywords: Placenta, Immunity, Suppression, Induction, IDO, HcG, PIF, EPF.PIBF, HLA-G, Factors, Anergy, Exosomes, IL-10, Retrovirus, Syncitin.
