title: [Immunologic and tumor biology aspects of placentation in humans].
abstract: In this survey, findings relating to the control of infiltration by the cytotrophoblast during human placentation are reviewed, with particular reference to immunology and tumour biology. Possible effects on pregnancy and parturition due to failure of the regulatory processes involved in placentation are discussed.
