Abstract:
The effect of interleukin-3 (IL-3) on prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) release by human fetal membranes at term gestation was evaluated. It was found that interleukin-3 stimulates in vitro prostaglandin E2 release by these gestational tissues, suggesting that interleukin-3 might be involved in the regulation of arachidonic acid metabolism in the fetal membranes.
