Human endogenous retrovirus-W envelope (syncytin) is expressed in both villous and extravillous trophoblast populations

7 Jun 2006

Abstract excerpt

The placenta is unique amongst normal tissues in transcribing numerous different human endogenous retroviruses at high levels. In this study, RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry were used to investigate the expression of syncytin in human trophoblast. Syncytin transcripts were found in first-trimester trophoblast cells with both villous and extravillous phenotypes and also in the JAR and JEG-3 choriocarcinoma cell...
