Lactate Dehydrogenase Leakage as a Marker for Apoptotic Cell Degradation Induced by Influenza Virus Infection in Human Fetal Membrane Cells

Abstract

LDH level in amniotic fluid is known to be one of markers for predicting fetal membrane damage. Therefore, this study provides a possible diagnostic application of LDH level to predict the extent of tissue damage of fetal membranes via apoptosis induced by influenza virus infection.
