 AB    In this brief review, we recall the antigenic status of the embryo and
       the possible threats that the maternal immune system poses to fetal
       survival even at implantation stage. We then quickly recall the
       existence of Early Pregnancy Factor (EPF), the available data for early
       embryo derived suppressor and suppressor inducer molecules, point to the
       existence of cloned progesterone dependent T cell derived suppressor
       molecule, disquisite on immunoregulatory properties of tau interferons,
       and finish by dealing with Interleukin 10 and the TH1/TH2 balance
       concept.
