Prolactin Modifies the In Vitro LPS-Induced Chemotactic Capabilities in Human Fetal Membranes at the Term of Gestation

Fetal membranes and umbilical cord blood were collected from healthy non‐labouring cesarean deliveries at term. Fetal membranes were culture in Transwell® frames to mimic the barrier function between choriodecidual and amniotic sides.
