Primitive haematopoiesis in the human placenta gives rise to macrophages with epigenetically silenced HLA-DR

The generation of primitive macrophages remains a poorly understood process in humans. Here, the authors identify placental erythro-myeloid progenitors that give rise to foetal macrophages in the early human placenta and demonstrate that epigenetic silencing of the class II transactivator leads to d...

description The generation of primitive macrophages remains a poorly understood process in humans. Here, the authors identify placental erythro-myeloid progenitors that give rise to foetal macrophages in the early human placenta and demonstrate that epigenetic silencing of the class II transactivator leads to downregulation of HLA-DR in these cells.
