The importance of mucosal immunology to problems in human reproduction
J Reprod Immunol.
1996 Aug.
Abstract
The field of mucosal immunology is making rapid advances towards establishing the molecular basis of mucosal defense mechanisms and the development of mucosal vaccines. Research on the mucosal immunology of male and female reproductive tract tissues is benefiting from these advances, as well as from current investigations on specialized immunologic features of the reproductive tract. This knowledge may soon be applicable to solutions for many important problems concerning human reproduction, such as fertility regulation and the current epidemic of sexually transmitted diseases, including AIDS.
