title: [Expression of DC-SIGNR in the primary trophoblast cells and its significance].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the expression of DC-SIGNR in human placenta and trophoblast cells cultured in vitro, and provided a basis for experiment in vitro aiming to investigate the mechanism of receptor-mediated intrauterine transmission.
  
  
  METHODS
  Primary culture system of human chorionic trophoblast cells were established. The expression of DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR was determined by Immunohistochemistry (IHC) stain.
  
  
  RESULTS
  DC-SIGNR was mainly expressed in the membrane and plasm in placental trophoblast cells, Hofbauer cells and placental vascular endothelial cells.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The expression of DC-SIGNR in human placenta and trophoblast cells cultured in vitro is determined by IHC; The study provides a cellular basis for experiment in vitro aiming to investigate the mechanism of receptor-mediated intrauterine transmission.
