Natural antimicrobial production by the amnion
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2007The purpose of this study was to determine the expression of natural antimicrobials in primary cultured amnion epithelial cells and to examine their regulation by interleukin-1 beta (IL-1beta).Primary amnion epithelial cells were cultured from samples that were obtained at prelabor cesarean section (n = 12) and stimulated with IL-1beta.

HUMAN AMNION FOR TISSUE CULTURE
Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 1964Several aspects of processing human amnion for tissue culture were studied, with particular emphasis on cell separation and infection control. EDTA proved a desirable substitute for trypsin as a wash and predigestion agent. Cultures for bacteria and fungi showed most amnions to be infected with bacteria or yeast or both.

Electrical Activity in Chick Amnion
American Journal of Physiology-Legacy Content, 1956Isolated amnions from chick embryos showed spontaneous electrical activity, both local and conducted. Responses to barium and to shocks were conducted at an average of 2.9 cm/sec. (38–40°C). Conducted responses were observed in amnions at 5–10 days of incubation.

Role of Ureaplasma urealyticum in amnionitis
The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 1986Ureaplasma urealyticum is commonly isolated from the amniotic fluid of unselected individuals with intact membranes at the time of cesarean section even prior to onset of labor. The risk of placental infection increases with onset of labor, rupture of membranes and number of vaginal examinations.

On the deformation behavior of human amnion
Journal of Biomechanics, 2013Recently renewed interest for the mechanical behavior of fetal membranes is related to the problem of iatrogenic preterm rupture, limiting the effectiveness and applicability of minimally invasive fetal surgery. This study aimed at characterizing and modeling the deformation behavior of the amnion layer, the highly deformable and tough membrane that ...

Amnion rupture sequence can result in limb reduction defects, amputations, ring constrictions, and distal syndactyly as well as various other anomalies such as craniofacial clefts and body wall deficiency. The severity of anomalies varies from a single ring constriction to severe abnormalities incompatible with life.

Synthesis of complement proteins in amnion.
The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1995The amnion is a metabolically active tissue that has been identified as a site of synthesis of numerous products. We report that amnion tissue explants and amnion-derived epithelial cells synthesize and secrete six proteins of the complement system, C1r, C1s, C1 inhibitor, factor B, C3, and factor H. Synthesis of C2 was minimal and variable, and C5 was
