The purpose of this book is to describe the nature of the
materno-fetal immunobiological relationship and to suggest the
direction in which the management of reproduction and its failure
in man is moving. The several authors, who have written about their
special fields of interest, need to be read within a framework
designed to blend their contributions into a whole. This preamble
provides a part of that framework, by describing the early
development of the embryo, that of the placenta and its membranes
and their anatomical relationship with maternal tissues: in other
words, the stage upon which this materno-fetal dialogue takes
place. Professor Maureen Young's 'tour de force', encapsulating the
whole of fetal physiology into a single chapter, completes the
background information. After Maureen Young's summary of fetal
physiology, Matteo Adinolfi describes the development of the immune
system in the fetus, including new information that allows more
accurate speculation concerning the gestational age at which fetal
immune responses of various kinds may begin. Charles Loke examines
the nature of antigens which are found in the placenta,
concentrating on those which occur on syncytiotrophoblast and
suggesting roles for them in fetal development. Arnold Klopper
covers the wide range of proteins and hormones which have been
studied during pregnancy and found to vary in a potentially
significant way. He has been careful to distinguish between
observation and hypothesis, as far as any immunomodulating action
is concerned, and his analysis is a model of scientific scepticism.
