Mechanisms of trophoblast-virus interaction
1 Dec 1997
Abstract excerpt
The human placenta serves as a barrier to the transmission of some viruses, but allows others to reach the fetal circulation. The resistance and permissiveness of the placenta to viral transmission appears to be determined in large part by the placental trophoblast. In order to define the mechanisms by which human trophoblast cells influence vertical transmission of viruses, we have studied the interaction of...
