چکیده
PROBLEM Decidual immune dysregulation is thought to underlie major pregnancy disorders; however, incomplete understanding of the decidual immune interface has hampered the mechanistic investigation. METHOD OF STUDY Human term decidua was collected, and single-cell phenotypic information was acquired by highly polychromatic flow cytometry. Cellular identity analysis was performed with t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding, DensVM clustering, and matched to CellOntology database. RESULTS Traditional analytical methods validated known cellular T and dendritic cell subsets in human term decidua. Computational analysis revealed a complex and tissue-specific decidual immune signature in both the innate and adaptive immune compartments. CONCLUSION Polychromatic flow cytometry with a streamlined computational analysis pipeline is a feasible approach to comprehensive immunome mapping of human term decidua. As an unbiased, standardized method of investigation, computational flow cytometry promises to unravel the immune pathology of pregnancy disorders.

Evaluation of Flow Cytometry and Kleihauer Techniques for Quantification of Fetomaternal Hemorrhage: A Prospective Cohort Study in Southwestern Iran
Background: Quantification of fetal red blood cells (RBCs) in maternal blood is of great importance to calculate appropriate dose of post-deliver anti D immunoglobulin in a rhesus D (RhD)-negative woman. Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate a direct immunofluorescence flow cytometry technique in artificial and clinical samples and compared it t...
متن کاملMultivariate Analysis Using High Definition Flow Cytometry Reveals Distinct T Cell Repertoires between the Fetal–Maternal Interface and the Peripheral Blood
The human T cell compartment is a complex system and while some information is known on repertoire composition and dynamics in the peripheral blood, little is known about repertoire composition at different anatomical sites. Here, we determine the T cell receptor beta variable (TRBV) repertoire at the decidua and compare it with the peripheral blood during normal pregnancy and pre-eclampsia. We...
متن کاملThe Assessment of Feto-Maternal Hemorrhage in an Artificial Model Using Anti-D and Anti-Fetal Hemoglobin Antibody by Flow Cytometry
Background: When fetal red cells enter the maternal circulation from placenta, an event would be happened that is described as feto-maternal hemorrhage (FMH). This life-threatening condition could be detected by using RBC antigens (surface antigens and intracellular antigens). Therefore, the measurement of fetal RBC in an artificial model would be useful to calculate FMH and consequently the do...
متن کاملP-164: Human Leukocyte Antigen Class Ib and Pregnancy Success
Background: During pregnancy, the maternal immune system is in close contact with cells and tissue from the semiallogenic fetus .The Human Leucocyte Antigen (HLA) class Ib molecules, HLA-E, -F and -G, are expressed at the materno-fetal interface. Because of the apparent immunoregulatory functions of these proteins, they may be involved in successful acceptance of the semi-allogenic fetus during...
