摘要
Human trophoblast cells with immunocytochemical characteristics of the extravillous population have been isolated from ist trimester placentae. Treatment of these cells with IFN-γ increases the expression of Class I antigens at both the cell surface and mRNA level. A similar increase in Class I antigens is also found in JEG-3 choriocarcinoma cells after treatment with IFN-γ. The possibility that aberrant production of IFN-γ may upset the fetal-maternal equilibrium in vivo is discussed. © 1990, Baillière Tindall. All rights reserved.
