ORIGINAL ARTICLE: Leukocyte Activation and Circulating Leukocyte‐Derived Microparticles in Preeclampsia

Abstract

Leukocytes are activated in preeclampsia. A pro-inflammatory gene expression profile is not prominent, although differences in mRNA expression can be detected. Increased levels of particular subsets of leukocyte-derived MP reflect activation of their parental cells in preeclampsia.
