EVIDENCE FOR PARTICIPATION OF NEUTROPHIL GELATINASE-ASSOCIATED LIPOCALIN / MATRIX METALLOPROTEINASE-9 (NGAL•MMP-9) COMPLEX IN THE INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE TO INFECTION IN PREGNANCIES COMPLICATED BY PRETERM BIRTH

BACKGROUND: Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is expressed in neutrophils and involved in innate immunity by sequestering iron. NGAL's ability to complex with matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and extend its gelatinolytic activity led us to investigate its role in pregnancies c...
