Abstract Progesterone is a known immunosuppressant in humans and may be important in treatment regimens for women with immunological and endocrinological

The immunosuppressive effects of progester-one were demonstrated in vivo by prolonged survival of xe-nografts near silastic implants containing progesterone at concentrations typically found in the placenta (3, 6)
