background: infertility is an increasing medical and social problem. in vitro fertilization (ivf) has become a common and accessible treatment for a wide variety of indications that have variable outcomes. natural killer (nk) cells have been identified as relevant immunological factors involved in reproductive success or failure. objective: the aim of this study was to compare the percentage of peripheral blood cd56+ (cd56dim and cd56bright) cells and the level of nk cell in patients with ivf failure with those of successful ivf control women. materials and methods: we assessed the level of cd56dim cd16+ and cd56bright cd16- cells in 50 women under ivf treatment and compared between successful ivf and ivf failure with the flowcytometry technique. results: of studied women, 68% did not response to ivf therapy and 32% had successful ivf, the level of cd56dim cd16+ cells in women with ivf failure was significantly higher than successful ivf (p<0.0001) but the level of cd56bright cd16- cells was not significantly different between women with ivf failure and successful ivf (p=0.28). conclusion: the results of present study demonstrated that the level of nk cells as a risk factor is associated with pregnancy loss in women with ivf failure. however, number of sample in this study is low and further studies with more sample size are needed to be done. we suggest considering treatment option for women undergoing repeated ivf failure with increased percentage of cd56dim cells and the level of peripheral blood nk cell.

The State of Peripheral Blood Natural Killer Cells and Cytotoxicity in Women with Recurrent Pregnancy Loss and Unexplained Infertility

Objective : The prognostic value of peripheral natural killer (pNK) cells, as a screening test in women with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and unexplained infertility is still a matter for discussion. The aim of this study was to compare the percentage of circulating CD56+NK cells, CD69 and perforin markers between women with unexplained infertility and RPL with healthy control group. Material...

Detailed analysis of peripheral blood natural killer cells in women with repeated IVF failure.

PROBLEM To analyse the peripheral blood NK cells in women with repeated IVF failure (RIF) and a fertile control group to determine which parameters best differentiate the two populations. METHODS Peripheral blood from the luteal phase of 171 women with RIF and 33 fertile controls was analysed by four-colour flow cytometry for NK cell concentration, subset differentiation and the activation ma...

Human Natural Killer Cell Maturation Defect Supports In Vivo CD56bright to CD56dim Lineage Development

Two populations of human natural killer (NK) cells can be identified in peripheral blood. The majority are CD3(-)CD56(dim) cells while the minority exhibits a CD3(-)CD56(bright) phenotype. In vitro evidence indicates that CD56(bright) cells are precursors of CD56(dim) cells, but in vivo evidence is lacking. Here, we studied NK cells from a patient that suffered from a melanoma and opportunistic...

THE CYTOTOXICITY PATHWAY OF NATURAL KILLER CELLS IN CORD BLOOD COMPARED TO P ERIPHERAL BLOOD

The cytotoxic activity of natural killer cells is usually tested by radioactive assay CSI Cr release assay), which detects the release of cytoplasmic contents after plasma membrane disintegration of dying cells. In contrast to this indirect evaluation of cytotoxicity, the assessment of cell damage by flow cytometry aims to provide a more exact characterization of the death pathway via detec...
