The Effect of Intrauterine Injection of Human Chorionic Gonadotrophins (hCG) on the Endometrial T-regulatory Cells and the Electronmicroscopic Endometrial Characteristics
The Effect of Intrauterine Injection of Human Chorionic Gonadotrophins (hCG) on the Endometrial T-regulatory Cells and the Electronmicroscopic Endometrial Characteristics
Intrauterine injection of hCG around the time of implantation may increase endometrial Treg cells and improve implantation. It has been demonstrated that regulatory T cells expand during pregnancy. hCG was found to be secreted by the embryo immediately after fertilization and has chemoattractant properties to Treg cells.
Aim of the work:
To study the effect of intrauterine injection of human chorionic gonadotrophin on the endometrial T regulatory cells (Treg cells)and the electromicroscopic endometrial characteristics.
Background:
It has been demonstrated that regulatory T cells expand during pregnancy and are present at the feto-maternal interface at very early stages in pregnancy.
Rational:
Intrauterine injection of hCG around the time of implantation may increase endometrial Treg cells and improve implantation.
Methods:
Intrauterine injection of 100 IU hCG will be done followed by endometrial biopsy to check for Treg cells and pinopodes.
