Increased Expression of Cell Surface Markers on Endometrial γδ T‐Cell Receptor⁺ Intraepithelial Lymphocytes Induced by the Local Presence of the Sheep Conceptus

Abstract

The local presence of the conceptus causes changes in cell surface marker expression on endometrial gamma delta TCR+ intraepithelial lymphocytes during pregnancy. These changes may reflect conceptus-induced activation of this population of cells.
