Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Inflammation characteristic effects of progesterone on preterm and term placentas

    Differences observed in cytokine profiles of IMC cells from term and preterm placentas cultured with and without progesterone

    One year

  • Maturation effects of progesterone on preterm and term placentas

    Differences observed in maturation of IMC cells into DC cells in term and preterm placentas

    One year

Study Arms (12)

Preterm labor placentas and progesterone

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

IMC cells taken from preterm labor placentas after delivery will be cultured with progesterone and will be analyzed for inflammation characteristics and maturation into DC cells.

Biological: Culture with progesterone

Term labor placentas and progesterone

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

IMC cells taken from term labor placentas after delivery will be cultured with progesterone and will be analyzed for inflammation characteristics and maturation into DC cells.

Biological: Culture with progesterone

Preterm labor placentas without progesterone

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

IMC cells taken from preterm labor placentas after delivery will be cultured without progesterone and will be analyzed for inflammation characteristics and maturation into DC cells.

Biological: Culture without progesterone

Term labor placentas without progesterone

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

IMC cells taken from term labor placentas after delivery will be cultured without progesterone and will be analyzed for inflammation characteristics and maturation into DC cells.

Biological: Culture without progesterone

Term placentas from progesterone treated pregnancies

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

IMC cells taken from term labor placentas from women that were treated with progesterone during pregnancy will be analyzed for inflammation characteristics and maturation into DC cells.

Biological: Culture with growth factors

Preterm placentas from progesterone treated pregnancies

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

IMC cells taken from preterm labor placentas from women that were treated with progesterone during pregnancy will be analyzed for inflammation characteristics and maturation into DC cells.

Biological: Culture with growth factors

Term placentas not treated with progesterone in pregnancy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

IMC cells taken from term placentas from women who were not treated with progesterone during pregnancy will be analyzed for inflammation characteristics and maturation into DC cells.
