Amnion Epithelial Cells, in Contrast to Trophoblast Cells, Express All Classical HLA Class I Molecules Together With HLA‐G
1 Feb 1997
Abstract excerpt
PROBLEM: The expression of the non-classical HLA-G gene has been shown at the protein level on trophoblast-derived embryonic tissue, like the extravillous cytotrophoblast. However, the presence of HLA-G on embryoblast-derived cells is currently controversial. The amnion epithelium is an embryoblast-derived cell layer covering the amnion cavity and is the main source for the amnion fluid. METHOD: The expression of...
