Interleukin‐1 Receptor Antagonist (IL‐1ra) Production by Human Amnion, Chorion, and Decidua

Abstract

These results indicate (1) that amnion, chorion, and predominantly decidua, can release or secrete IL-1ra in vitro, and (2) that LPS and IL-1 beta can stimulate decidual cells to produce increased amounts of IL-1ra.
