Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) Activates Monocytes to Produce Interleukin-8 via a Different Pathway from Luteinizing Hormone/HCG Receptor System

To investigate immune-endocrine interactions between the embryo and the mother early in pregnancy, we examined the effects of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) on IL-8 production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Recombinant HCG promoted IL-8 secretion by PBMC derived from nonpregnant w...
