The trophoblast (from Greek trephein: to feed; and blastos: germinator) is the outer layer of cells of the blastocyst. Trophoblasts are present four days after fertilization in humans. [ 1 ] They provide nutrients to the embryo and develop into a large part of the placenta .
It possesses an inner cell mass (ICM) also known as the embryoblast which subsequently forms the embryo, and an outer layer of trophoblast cells called the trophectoderm. [1] [2] This layer surrounds the inner cell mass and a fluid-filled cavity or lumen known as the blastocoel. [3] In the late blastocyst, the trophectoderm is known as the ...
After hatching, the embryonic pole of the blastocyst faces the uterine endometrium. Once they make contact the trophoblast begins to rapidly proliferate. The cytotrophoblast secretes proteolytic enzymes to break down the extracellular matrix between the endometrial cells to allow finger-like projections of trophoblast to penetrate through.
Image showing trophoblast differentiated into the two layers of cytotrophoblast and syncytiotrophoblast during implantation. It is the outer layer of the trophoblasts and actively invades the uterine wall, during implantation, rupturing maternal capillaries and thus establishing an interface between maternal blood and embryonic extracellular fluid, facilitating passive exchange of material ...
Implantation site intermediate trophoblast. Low molecular weight cytokeratin stain. Intermediate trophoblast is a distinct subtype of trophoblastic tissue that arises from the cytotrophoblast. [1] It is sub-categorized by location: [1] Villous intermediate trophoblast: at anchoring villi of trophoblastic column; Implantation site intermediate ...
They are sometimes called intermediate trophoblast. [1] EVTs that derive from CYT cells on the surface of placental chorionic villi that come into contact with the uterine wall - at the placental bed - begin to express the HLA-G antigen. [2] Extravillous trophoblast (EVT) cells migrate from anchoring villi, and invade into the decidua basalis.

5T4 is an antigen expressed in a number of carcinomas. [7] It is an N-glycosylated transmembrane 72 kDa glycoprotein containing eight leucine-rich repeats. [6] 5T4 is often referred to as an oncofetal antigen due to its expression in foetal trophoblast (where it was first discovered) or trophoblast glycoprotein (TPBG).
