FAQs of LIT
What is Reproductive Immunology?
We know that the Immune System is a Protector of our body against any foreign invader, yet this powerful Immune System is bypassed when a pregnancy (Foreign tissue or allograft) grows in the mother’s body. Immune system has a different arm called Immune tolerance which protects our body from attack by our own Immune system & allografts like a baby (which is 50 % mothers & 50 % fathers). Reproductive Immunology is a science which identifies Immune tolerance dysfunction to accept a pregnancy & finds treatment to help successful pregnancy, when pregnancy is rejected due to Immune Factors.
