Effects of normal pregnant and PE sera on CD40/CD40L mRNA expression in CRL1730 cells. Expression of CD40 (A) and CD40L (B) mRNA in CRL1730 cells cultured in the presence of sera from normal pregnant patients or those with PE. Results were presented as mean ± SD and comparison of effect between two groups over time was performed by repeated measures of ANOVA and difference in expression of CD40 and CD40L mRNA in CRL1730 cells cultured between two groups over time was significant (P < 0.001). n = 20 for each group.
