Identification of cytotrophoblast colonies in cultures of human placental cells using monoclonal antibodies. 1986

Y W Loke, and B H Butterworth, and J J Margetts, and K Burland

The morphological appearance of four distinctive types of colony in human placental cultures is described. Using a panel of monoclonal antibodies, one of these colonies is found to comprise cells with the phenotypic characteristics which allow them to be defined as cytotrophoblast with a reasonable degree of certainty. A second type of colony also contains cells of epithelial origin, but the trophoblast lineage of these cells is more difficult to ascertain. The remaining two types of colony are derived from mesenchymal elements representing either macrophages or fibroblasts. It is hoped that the precise identification of cytotrophoblast colonies will provide a useful yardstick to assess the efficiency of any future techniques which are devised for the selective growth and propagation of human trophoblast in vitro.

D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.
