While generally accepted that FcRn of the human syncytiotrophoblast and the mouse yolk sac endoderm is the major IgG transporter, the finding of a different Fc receptor FcgammaRIIb (RIIb) in the human placental endothelium has suggested the existence of an additional IgG transporter. Testing our hypothesis in mouse, we found that while RIIb is expressed in the yolk sac vasculature, IgG concentrations in fetuses of wild-type mice (RIIb(+/+)) and mice with a null mutation in the gene encoding RIIb (RIIb(-/-) mice) are not different, and we thus reject our hypothesis that yolk sac RIIb transports IgG in utero in the mouse. However, the capillary bed in the mouse yolk sac is structurally more complex than in human placenta, consisting of three types of cells: an RIIb-negative endothelium, a unique RIIb-bearing cell that also expresses 2 out of 4 macrophage markers but not endothelial cell or pericyte markers, and pericytes. As in the human placenta the b2 isoform of RIIb predominates in the mouse yolk sac. Remarkably only a single capillary channel rather than 2 channels with a loop is found in each yolk sac villus, which, along with intracapillary erythrocytes, suggests that blood flow is peristaltic, mediated by pericytes. It is not clear whether RIIb in the human placental villus might mediate an IgG transport function in light of the mouse yolk sac equivalent failing to do so.

D008297 Male Males
D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D005260 Female Females
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D013045 Species Specificity The restriction of a characteristic behavior, anatomical structure or physical system, such as immune response; metabolic response, or gene or gene variant to the members of one species. It refers to that property which differentiates one species from another but it is also used for phylogenetic levels higher or lower than the species. Species Specificities,Specificities, Species,Specificity, Species
D014168 Transferrin An iron-binding beta1-globulin that is synthesized in the LIVER and secreted into the blood. It plays a central role in the transport of IRON throughout the circulation. A variety of transferrin isoforms exist in humans, including some that are considered markers for specific disease states.

D015017 Yolk Sac The first of four extra-embryonic membranes to form during EMBRYOGENESIS. In REPTILES and BIRDS, it arises from endoderm and mesoderm to incorporate the EGG YOLK into the DIGESTIVE TRACT for nourishing the embryo. In placental MAMMALS, its nutritional function is vestigial; however, it is the source of INTESTINAL MUCOSA; BLOOD CELLS; and GERM CELLS. It is sometimes called the vitelline sac, which should not be confused with the VITELLINE MEMBRANE of the egg.

D017452 Receptors, IgG Specific molecular sites on the surface of various cells, including B-lymphocytes and macrophages, that combine with IMMUNOGLOBULIN Gs. Three subclasses exist: Fc gamma RI (the CD64 antigen, a low affinity receptor), Fc gamma RII (the CD32 antigen, a high affinity receptor), and Fc gamma RIII (the CD16 antigen, a low affinity receptor).
