Fc receptors for IgG, FcRI (CD64), FcRII (CD32), and FcRIII (CD16) in human placenta were studied by indirect immunohistochemistry using avidin-biotin peroxidase complexes for the staining of cryostat sections. The MoAb 32.2 against FcRI stained cells in the loose connective tissue of the placental villi. The MoAb IV3 (FcRII) and C1KM5 (FcRII) also stained stromal cells and in addition stained the endothelium of the placental villi. The MoAb anti-Leu-11b against FcRIII and B1D6 against a 40-kDa FcR from placenta stained both stromal cells and endothelium as well as the fetal trophoblasts lining the villi. The MoAb 3G8 (FcRIII) also stained trophoblasts and stromal cells but did not stain the endothelium. The heterogeneity of FcR expression on human placenta is established. The function of the different receptors is still unclear.

D010920 Placenta A highly vascularized mammalian fetal-maternal organ and major site of transport of oxygen, nutrients, and fetal waste products. It includes a fetal portion (CHORIONIC VILLI) derived from TROPHOBLASTS and a maternal portion (DECIDUA) derived from the uterine ENDOMETRIUM. The placenta produces an array of steroid, protein and peptide hormones (PLACENTAL HORMONES). Placentoma, Normal,Placentome,Placentas,Placentomes
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
D011961 Receptors, Fc Molecules found on the surface of some, but not all, B-lymphocytes, T-lymphocytes, and macrophages, which recognize and combine with the Fc (crystallizable) portion of immunoglobulin molecules. Fc Receptors,Fc Receptor,Receptor, Fc

D000943 Antigens, Differentiation Antigens expressed primarily on the membranes of living cells during sequential stages of maturation and differentiation. As immunologic markers they have high organ and tissue specificity and are useful as probes in studies of normal cell development as well as neoplastic transformation.

D015703 Antigens, CD Differentiation antigens residing on mammalian leukocytes. CD stands for cluster of differentiation, which refers to groups of monoclonal antibodies that show similar reactivity with certain subpopulations of antigens of a particular lineage or differentiation stage. The subpopulations of antigens are also known by the same CD designation.
