Abstract
We studied the intensity of respiratory burst of neutrophils in the venous blood of women at different stages of reproduction using the chemiluminescent method (BHL-07). The analysis of the of luminol-dependent latex-induced luminescence parameters demonstrated that the neutrophils of pregnant women are in the primed state and equally respond to latex-mediated induction during both normal pregnancy and in case of threatened miscarriage or premature birth. However, childbirth leads to the deactivation of neutrophils, while the intensity of active radical generation does not significantly differ from that in non-pregnant women.
