A Nongenomic Mechanism for Progesterone-mediated Immunosuppression: Inhibition of K(+) Channels, Ca(2+) Signaling, and Gene Expression in T Lymphocytes

The mechanism by which progesterone causes localized suppression of the immune response during pregnancy has remained elusive. Using human T lymphocytes and T cell lines, we show that progesterone, at concentrations found in the placenta, rapidly and reversibly blocks voltage-gated and calcium-activ...
