MHC-dependent inhibition of uterine NK cells impedes fetal growth and decidual vascular remodelling
NK cells express variable receptors that engage polymorphic MHC class I molecules and regulate their function. Maternal NK cells accumulate at the maternal-fetal interface and can interact with MHC class I molecules from both parents. The relative contribution of the two sets of parental MHC molecul...
