Research Abstract |
To contribute to forming the population of decidual mononuclear cells, the specific and strong expression of HLA-E and HLA-G on placental trophoblast should be important. Recently, many reports showed the presence of HLA-G not only on placental trophoblast but also on other tissue. To verify those results, the expression of HLA-G in follicle fluids was tested by ELISA and immunoprecipitation. We have got the contradicted result between these 2 methods. It was considered that the contradiction was caused from a false-positive reaction induced by a substance in follicle fluids on ELISA. The cause of this contradiction should be analyzed, and the detection method of HLA-G with higher sensitivity is going to be established.
