Abstract: Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) generally refers to 3 or more consecutive miscarriages with same-sex couples before 20 weeks of gestation. The cause of RSA is still unknown, immune-related factor could be an important cause. Those factors of immune abnormality are not only related to the changes of maternal autoimmune, but also related to the imbalance of maternal-fetal immune tolerance. Further studies on RSA immune-related factors are of great significance for exploring new treatment methods of RSA and improving pregnancy outcomes in RSA patients. In this paper, the immune-related factors and progress of RSA are reviewed in order to provide new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of RSA.

Key words: Abortion, habitual;, Autoimmunity;, Autoantibodies;, Maternal-fetal immune tolerance
