Direct and Indirect endocrine-mediated suppression of human endometrial CD8+T cell cytotoxicity

Abstract Regulation of endometrial (EM) CD8+T cells is essential for successful reproduction and protection against pathogens. Suppression of CD8+T cells is necessary for a tolerogenic environment that promotes implantation and pregnancy. However, the mechanisms regulating this process remain unclea...
