Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the expression of CD68 and CD163 and PD-L1 on placental tissues from acute covid patients, patients who survived a covid-19 infection and normal term controls that are known to be dysregulated in preeclampsia cases. We examined a total of 60 placentas from women that had given birth to female or male offspring in the University Hospital Augsburg. The gene discussed is CD163; the disease is infection.
