The modern concept of providing immunological homeostasis of the cervical mucus
The review addresses the questions of literature devoted to the study of the modern concept of providing immunological homeostasis of the cervical mucus. From an immunological point of view, the mucus secretion by endocervical epithelial cells is a complexly organized body fluid. Its indicators reflect immune reactions of cervical canal mucous membrane, i.e. mucosal immunity. However, despite the peculiarity of cervical canal immunity, its mechanisms are closely associated to systemic immunity - this is a part of the integral immune system. The study of impairment in pathogenesis, pathology as well as the development of more specific diagnostic and treatment options is a challenge for future research. Relevant world’s literature is cited.
