Tregitopes regulate the tolerogenic immune response and decrease the foetal death rate in abortion-prone mouse matings

Abstract The imbalance in immune tolerance may cause the variety of reproductive failures. An intravenous immunoglobulin infusion (IVIg) therapy is used to improve the live birth rate in women suffering from recurrent pregnancy loss, recurrent spontaneous abortions and recurrent implantation failure...
