Abstract

The expression of adhesion molecules by endothelial cells (EC) of early human decidua was studied with monoclonal antibodies and the immunoperoxidase technique. Although E-selectin, INCAM-110 and VCAM-1 were poorly detected on decidual EC, ICAM-1, P-selectin and DR antigens were highly expressed by these cells, some of which showed high endothelial venule-like morphology. Our results suggest that decidual EC are activated, and are probably involved in the active recruitment of leucocytes.
