Immunity @cp-immunity.bsky.social · Sep 12

Tolerance to non-inherited maternal antigen is sustained by LysM+ CD11c+ maternal microchimeric cells

Pregnancy-induced microchimerism is linked with both inflammatory disorders and immune tolerance phenotypes. Peng et al. develop a platform for lineage-specific microchimeric cell depletion and show that tolerance to non-inherited maternal antigens is sustained by a small fraction of maternal microchimeric leukocyte cells identified by LysM and CD11c co-expression.
