Peripheral blood natural killer cells activation status determined by CD69 upregulation predicts implantation outcome in IVF
Abstract Problem NK lymphocytes play critical yet poorly defined role in implantation and during development in early pregnancy. Methods of study Recently, we showed that the proportion of NK that expressed CD69+ after incubation with K562 (CD69stim ) cells reflected the NK population excitation pot...

Summary: | Abstract Problem NK lymphocytes play critical yet poorly defined role in implantation and during development in early pregnancy. Methods of study Recently, we showed that the proportion of NK that expressed CD69+ after incubation with K562 (CD69stim ) cells reflected the NK population excitation potential. In the present study, we investigate the significance of NK activation levels in predicting embryo implantation. Results A qualitative analysis of values distribution in two groups showed that 25/33 (75.8%) women who became pregnant had CD69stim levels that were >30 but |
