Brief description Preeclampsia is a leading cause of prematurity and low birth weight in babies. There is evidence that preeclampsia originates with inadequate adaptation in the mother’s immune system to protect the placenta from immune attack. In mice we will investigate how events at conception activate immune tolerance, and define how the male partner contributes. In women, we will determine whether similar processes control the immune response in pregnancy, and whether this is faulty in preeclampsia.
