Abstract
Leukocytes in endometrium and decidua are phenotypically and morphologically similar to granulated lymphocytes at other mucosal surfaces. Although their exact functions are not known, we suggest they may have a role in the control of implantation and the transformation of the uterine vasculature by trophoblast on which the blood supply to the fetoplacental unit depends.
