Analysis of interferon-γ receptor IFNGR1 and IFNGR2 expression and regulation at the maternal-conceptus interface and the role of interferon-γ on endometrial expression of interferon signaling molecules during early pregnancy in pigs.
From this study, early pregnancy induced a lower Th1 immunity (IFN-γ) and a higher Th2 immunity (IL-4 and IL-10) in the PBMCs, which may be related to interferon-tau and P4, thereby contributing to successful pregnancy in cattle.
