Abstract

Significance: Fetal extravillous trophoblasts (EVT) invade uterine tissue and interact with maternal immune cells during pregnancy. EVT express human leukocyte antigen-C (HLA-C) and -G (HLA-G). Although polymorphic HLA-C can elicit a maternal immune response, HLA-G has been associated with induction of immune tolerance. We have succeeded in isolating all maternal immune cell types as well as EVT from human placental tissue. These methods were used to elucidate the unique charateristics of EVT as well as their interaction with maternal immune cells. We demonstrate that EVT are specialized cells whose properties are not imitated by HLA‐G–expressing surrogate cell lines. Studies using primary EVT are crucial for understanding maternal–fetal tolerance and development of pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia and miscarriages.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
