초록
Interferon-tau (IFN-τ) is the primary agent responsible for maternal recognition of pregnancy in cattle. Bovine embryos begine to express IFN-τ as the blastocyst forms. Pregnancy recognition in ruminants occurs when IFN-τ from the trophoblast prevents the increase of oxytocin receptors, disrupting luteolytic pulses of prostaglandin (PG) F2a by oxytocin. The expression of IFN-τ is strongly associated with the degree of methylation of the CpG islands in promoter region. (omitted)
