Decidual-trophoblast interactions: decidual lymphoid cell populations in basal and parietal decidua.
Immunohistochemical analysis of tissue specimens from human pregnancy decidua basalis in contact with invasive trophoblast of chorion frondosum and decidua parietalis in contact with non-invasive chorion laeve do not differ in the frequency of lymphoid cells of the following phenotypes (CD2, CD4, CD8, CD14, CD21 and gamma/delta TCR). A practical implication of this observation is that the collection of lymphoid cells from whole decidua by curettage for functional studies is justified.
