AbstractObjective:Vitamin D (VitD) is an anti-inflammatory hormone; however, some evidence shows that VitD may induce the expression of activation markers, such as CD38 and HLA-DR. We explored its effect on the expression of these markers on CD4Materials and methods:CD38 and HLA-DR expression was measured by flow cytometry in PHA/IL-2-activated mononuclear cells cultured under VitD precursors: three cholecalciferol (10Results:Cholecalciferol at 10Conclusion:Although no significant correlations were observed in vivo in healthy subjects, VitD treatment in vitro modulated immune activation by increasing the expression of CD38 and decreasing the proliferation of HLA-DR

Parthenogenetic mouse embryos were selected following in vitro activation, and transferred to the oviducts of pseudopregnant recipients. Decidua was evoked by 50–56% of diploid parthenogenones compared to 35·1% of haploid embryos with a single pronucleus, 37·5% of immediate cleavage eggs and 77% of fertilized eggs (controls). On day 4, 58·7% of diploid parthenogenones were morphologically normal morulae or blastocysts; over 90% of these ‘normal’ embryos evoked decidua when retransferred to recipients compared to 8·9% of abnormal embryos flushed from the ‘transfer’ sides, suggesting that only ‘normal’ embryos could evoke decidua. Potentially diploid parthenogenones remained diploid on chromosomal examination on day 4.
