The cellular immune responses observed in women with preterm labor and intra-amniotic infection are more severe than in those with intra-amniotic inflammation, and neutrophils, monocytes/macrophages, and CD4+ T cells are the main immune cells responding to microorganisms that invade the amniotic cavity. These findings provide insights into the intra-amniotic immune mechanisms underlying the human syndrome of preterm labor.
