TL;DR: Findings indicate activation of decidual leukocytes by IL-2 occurs through theIL-2R beta alone, which is similar to that found on classical NK cells.

TL;DR: Findings provide evidence that human extravillous trophoblast expresses receptors for GM-CSF and responds to this cytokine.

TL;DR: This study shows that a gradual loss of laminin receptors with the concomitant acquisition of fibronectin receptors as trophoblast is transformed from the villous phenotype, through the cell columns, into the extravillous population.

TL;DR: A new Mab BC‐1 is described which is directed at a cell surface antigen expressed by extravillous cytotrophoblast and not by villous cytoskeleton, so it is useful for distinguishing between the two populations.
Abstract: This paper describes a new Mab BC-1 which is directed at a cell surface antigen expressed by extravillous cytotrophoblast and not by villous cytotrophoblast, so it is useful for distinguishing between the two populations. The antigen recognised by BC-1 is trypsin-resistant, which allows it to be used for flow cytometric analysis of living trophoblast isolated by enzymic disaggregation. However, BC-1 is not trophoblast-specific but cross-reacts with some other tissues, in particular endothelial cells and peripheral blood monocytes. The nature of this antigen has not been established.
