[Distribution of mononuclear cells in peripheral blood of females with spontaneous abortion].

The quantitative distribution of peripheral T cells, monocytes/granulocytes, natural killer cells and B cells was estimated in aborting women using the peroxidase-antiperoxidase technique with monoclonal antibodies. 30 women with spontaneous abortions were included in the study and 30 fertile and 50 healthy pregnant women as control groups. It could established that the normal pregnancy has no influence on the distribution of mononuclear cells. In cases with threatened abortions was the number of monocytes/granulocytes and of natural killer cells increased if the loss of pregnancy occurred. The differentiation of mononuclear cells may be helpful for the prognosis of abortions.
