We hypothesized that decidual cytokine production influences cord blood mononuclear cell (CBMC) cytokine production and that cytokine profiles of decidua from allergic women differ from those of decidua from nonallergic women," wrote Mark Brown and colleagues. "Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, we measured unstimulated and concanavalin A/phorbol myristate acetate-stimulated production of interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-5, IL-10, IL-13, and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) by decidual explants from 59...
