Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the role of uterine natural killer cell(uNK)in recurrent pregnancy losses and the correlation between the numbers of it and embryo toxicity by measuring the level of the Th2 cytokines in normal reproductive profile and in patients with Recurrent Pregnancy Losses (RPL).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Office hysteroscopy examination of the patients at the luteal phase of the natural cycle (day17 to day 20),with endometrial biopsy using pipple curette from the region of the fundus, the biopsy sent to flow cytometry laboratory in South Egypt Cancer Institute to be examined for:

1.1. Phenotypic analysis of uterine natural killer cells:

1.2. Induction and detection of intracellular cytokines by flow Cytometry:
