Secretion of pro-apoptotic intron 4-retaining soluble HLA-G1 by human villous trophoblast

Abstract excerpt

One major materno-fetal interface in the human placenta is constituted by the syncytiotrophoblast, in contact with maternal blood of the intervillous space, which derives from differentiation and fusion of the villous cytotrophoblast (vct). In the present work, we purified vct from term placenta by depleting HLA class I- and class II-positive cells. We found by RT-PCR that both soluble intron 4-retaining HLA-G1...
