Effects of neutrophil depletion on pregnancy complications in silica nanoparticles with a diameter of 70 nm (nSP70)-treated mice. Pregnant BALB/c mice were treated intraperitoneally with anti-Ly-6G or isotype-matched control antibodies (150 μg/mouse) on gestational day (GD) 15; 24 h later, mice received either nSP70 or saline by intravenous injection. The uteri were excised on GD 17. (A) Representative placentae and fetuses. (B) Placental weight and (C) fetal weight were assessed. Data are presented as means ± SEM; n = 9 or 10; **P < 0.01.
