CD56+ cells in peripheral blood or the endometrium may be increased in women with reproductive failure. However, the relationship between numbers of peripheral blood CD56+ and endometrial CD56+ cells is uncertain. The aim of this study was (i) to compare the numbers of CD56+ cells in peripheral blood and endometrium in samples taken simultaneously and (ii) to compare measurements by flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry of CD56+ cells in the same endometrial biopsy.
