Published in: American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) (2022)

BAFF and APRIL are differentially regulated in the mother during and following pregnancy, whereas each is upregulated in the developing fetus. An increase in third-trimester serum BAFF level may portend development of preeclampsia.
