Comparison of the relative expression levels of the transcription factors; STAT-1 and IRF-5 (M1 macrophages) and STAT-6 and c-Maf (M2 Macrophages), between PM-positive and PM-negative placentas showed a trend toward lower expression for both M1- and M2-macrophage associated factors in infected placentas, with only statistical significance in the levels of STAT-6 expression.
