2003, American Journal of Obstetrics and GynecologyCitation Excerpt :The site of origin of cytokines within the uterus, placenta, and membranes is of importance in understanding the mechanisms that underpin normal and abnormal parturition. In a study of cytokine-producing cell types within human placental tissues, Steinborn et al24 observed two distinct patterns in cases of preterm labor, dependent on the presence or absence of infection. Where there was evidence of ascending infection, activated leukocytes were observed infiltrating the infected membranes and releasing cytokines.
