Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Human placental lactogen is one of the major hormones secreted by the placental syncytiotrophoblast and detected in the maternal circulation. Other sources of this hormone in intrauterine tissues at term have been sought by means of immunohistochemistry and northern analysis. Avidin-biotin immunoperoxidase staining with a specific polyclonal antibody to human placental lactogen showed this hormone to be present in groups of cells at the interface between chorionic cytotrophoblast and decidua parietalis and in some cells of the basal plate in addition to the classic source, the syncytiotrophoblast. Hybridization of polyadenylic-(+)ribonucleic acid extracted from amnion, chorion, decidua parietalis, basal plate, and placental trophoblast with a radiolabeled 48 mer oligonucleotide and a 540 base pair complementary deoxyribonucleic acid probe to human placental lactogen showed the placental trophoblast to be the major source of human placental lactogen and the extravillous chorion and basal plate to be additional minor sources.
