Uterine Epithelial GM-CSF and Its Interlocutory Role During Early Pregnancy in the Mouse. Recent studies have shown that these cytokines are produced in a precisely orchestrated sequence during the reproductive cycle and are important components of the intercellular signaling language mediating in the actions of steroid hormones in reproductive tissues (1).

MHC-Linked Genes and Their Role in Growth and Reproductioncognition, growth, and development in a variety of species (1–3). We have developed a hypothesis to relate these various functions, and it is shown in Figure 12.1. The MHC genes are primarily involved in the differentiation of self and nonself, and the regulation of their expression plays a major ro
