Very nice questions because I use exactly the terminology – we suppress them in order to regulate the level of the NK cells. We do not go to the very bottom of the level of NK cells, meaning we do not take the immune system from the patient. Women still have an immune system but not a hyperactive one that kills the embryo. Suppression of the immune system is done to get to the reference line that we want to have before the implantation or in natural pregnancy. We do not suppress, we regulate – this is a significant word that we need to use in bibliography. We REGULATE NK cells before the implantation or the embryo transfer or natural pregnancy.
