Localization of cell fusion related proteins in the first trimester placenta. Immunohistochemical analysis of a tissue sample from a woman at 7 weeks of gestation who underwent elective hysterectomy for cervical cancer with her pregnancy in situ. The left side shows the result of immunohistochemical staining for cytotrophoblast cell (CT), cytotrophoblast cell column (CCC), and syncytiotrophoblast (ST) areas and the right side shows extravillous cytotrophoblast cells (EVT). Arrows indicate syncytialized debris. The two bottom rows of images are of isotype control immunostaining. These panels use the same area of the specimens as depicted above. Scales for images are as indicated.
