Human trophoblast and the choriocarcinoma cell line BeWo express a truncated HLA Class I molecule.

1 Jan 1990

Abstract excerpt

Extravillous trophoblast from normal human placenta has been shown previously to express an unusual form of HLA class I molecule, as does a choriocarcinoma cell line, BeWo. This molecule has a H chain of approximately 40 kDa and appears to be nonpolymorphic. We have isolated and sequenced a HLA class I cDNA clone, which probably corresponds to this molecule, from a library derived from BeWo. The nucleotide...
