The Effects of Post-Mating Administration of Anti-IL-10 and Anti-TGF beta on Conception Rates in Mice

Background: In fertility studies, it has been shown that transforming growth factor beta (TGF beta) and interlukin 10 (IL-10) play very important roles in implantation, maternal immune tolerance, placentation and fetal development, and the release beginning of release for fetal and postnatal death. The present study aims to determine the effects of the post-mating administration of neutralizing antibodies against IL-10 and TGF beta, which significantly impact pregnancy in females and the conception rates in mice via assessments of blood serum and uterine fluid concentrations of IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17, interferon gamma (IFN gamma), Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha), and TGF beta.
