Topic
Immune responses play an important role in various reproductive processes, including ovulation, menstruation, and parturition. Clearly, during pregnancy, when the mother must accept a semi-allogeneic fetus, immune responses also play a very important role. This was first recognized by Medawar in 1953 when the concept of the fetal allograft was presented to explain the immunological relationship between mother and fetus. Since then, the immunology of pregnancy has been the leading subject within reproductive immunology research. The present course provides an update of current knowledge about the so-called `immunological paradox of pregnancy, and the role of the immune system in pregnancy-related complications such as recurrent implantation failure, recurrent pregnancy loss, etc. The course also covers the diagnosis and therapeutic methods developed to overcome immune-related infertility conditions.
