Expression levels of selected HERVs and their receptors in placental tissue. Chorionic villi and trophoblast populations in a 28-gestational-week placenta with a schematic cartoon representation of chorionic villus (left). Expression levels of genes coding syncytin-1 (ERVW-1), syncytin-2 (ERVFRD-1), suppressyn (ERVH48-1), and their receptors (SLC1A5, SLC1A4, MFSD2A) in trophoblast populations (right); nTPM, normalized protein-coding transcripts per million. Expression data from proteinatlas.org. The placenta was stained by hematoxylin and eosin. An image of the placenta was taken by light microscope Axio Vert.
