Objective To investigate the in vitro ability of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) to bind
human trophoblast cells and to affect gonadotropin secretion and invasiveness. Methods …

LUPUS ANTICOAGULANTS, and “antiphospholipid” autoantibodies in general, are of
considerable clinical importance because of their strong association with thrombosis …
