Particle ingestion was reduced significantly (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.0025) after 5 minutes of incubation when leukocytes were in 15% serum obtained during the latter phases of gestation. Control sera from normal adult females or males or from cord blood all functioned normally in support of phagocytosis. Intracellular metabolic events occurring after ingestion, including bacterial killing and nitro\u2010blue tetrazolium reduction, were decreased in proportion to the number of particles ingested. Differential studies involving leukocytes obtained from either pregnant or control subjects, when suspended in either pregnancy or control serum pools, showed the inhibition was due to a humoral and not a cellular factor. Mixing experiments demonstrated that serum obtained during gestation contained a suppressor or neutrophil function rather than a deficiency of a factor required for phagocytosis. The pregnancy serum suppressant affected cells, not the particles ingested, and was found to be non\u2010dialyzable and heat\u2010stable. Hydrocortisone added to control sera to exceed the steroid concentrations found in pregnancy sera did not retard phagocytosis nor diminish bactericidal activity. The data suggest that the active serum component exerts its inhibitory action at the cell surface. Since polymorphonuclear leukocytes are important mediators of inflammation and are implicated in the pathogenesis of tissue destruction, the subsidence of inflammatory diseases during gestation could be related, at least in part, to the inhibitory effects of pregnancy serum on leukocyte functions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/art.1780210305","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,2,14]],"date-time":"2007-02-14T17:53:15Z","timestamp":1171475595000},"page":"316-325","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Studies Of The Effects Of Pregnancy Serum On Polymorphonuclear Leukocyte Functions"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Robert H.","family":"Persellin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"June K.","family":"Leibfarth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,12,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_2","first-page":"922","article-title":"The effect of pregnancy of rheumatoid arthritis","volume":"27","author":"Persellin RH","year":"1977","journal-title":"Bull Rheum Dis"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_2","first-page":"161","article-title":"The ameliorating effect of pregnancy on chronic atrophic (infectious rheumatoid) arthritis, fibrositis, and intermittent hydrarthrosis","volume":"13","author":"Hench PS","year":"1938","journal-title":"Mayo Clin Proc"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_2","first-page":"59","article-title":"The activity of rheumatoid arthritis during pregnancy","volume":"73","author":"Neely NT","year":"1977","journal-title":"Tex Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_2","first-page":"586","article-title":"The adrenal cortex and rheumatoid arthritis","volume":"2","author":"Kendall EC","year":"1951","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0065-2776(08)60442-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"449","DOI":"10.1016\/S0021-9258(18)57416-0","article-title":"Application of an improved glucuronidase assay method to the study of human blood \u03b2\u2010glucuronidase","volume":"173","author":"Fishman WH","year":"1948","journal-title":"J Biol Chem"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3181\/00379727-90-21985"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM196805022781801"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_10_2","first-page":"55A","article-title":"Chemotactic factor\u2010induced alterations of granulocyte surface charge","volume":"25","author":"Schaack TM","year":"1977","journal-title":"Clin Res"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_11_2","first-page":"203","volume-title":"Alterations of polymorphonuclear functions: Effects of pregnancy serum.
