The no-man's-land between reproductive physiology and immunology is
becoming crowded. The last 10 years have seen a revolution in our
under standing of many reproductive processes, brought about by the
application of ever more sophisticated immunological methods. The
increasing precision of these techniques has given us specific ways
of assaying, enhancing or blocking hormonal mechanisms to yield
more critical and interpretable information. In this volume eleven
authors have presented the current status and future prospects of
some immunological aspects of reproduction and fertility con trol.
These include the relationships between mother and fetus, the
diagnosis of pregnancy, the immunological complications seen in
clinical management of human reproduction and some novel approaches
for immunological control of fertility. We hope that in these
chapters we have achieved an up-to-date account of a fast-moving
field that calls on several disciplines. We intend the book to
provide an adequate background and a current review for research
workers and clinicians who wish both to understand the complex
mechanisms involved and to develop improved scientific and clinical
methods. We hope too that the student and newcomer will find this a
useful reference book."
