| Summary |
Reproductive Immunology is a growing area in both immunology and reproductive sciences and is helping us to better understand several complications of pregnancy. This book gives a review of our knowledge related to the role of the immune system during pregnancy and the interactions between the placenta and the maternal immune system |
