Abnormal expression of HLA-DR antigen in the placenta of a patient with pemphigoid gestationis

G M Borthwick et al. J Reprod Immunol. 1984 Dec.

Abstract

The villous stroma and fetal endothelium in chorionic villi adjacent to maternal decidua in a placenta of a woman suffering from pemphigoid gestationis were found to have abnormal expression of HLA-DR antigen. This aberrant DR expression may be a reflection of an immune attack on the placenta.
