Utilizing primary HLA-G+ extravillous trophoblasts and HLA-G+ EVT-like cell lines to study maternal-fetal interactions

Summary: Fetal extravillous trophoblasts (EVTs) are the most invasive cells of the placenta and play a key role in modulating maternal immune responses. Here, we present a protocol to purify and culture human leukocyte antigen-G (HLA-G)+ EVTs. We describe steps for tissue dissection, tissue digestio...
