Development of the pig placenta*

Vallet J.L. , Miles J.R. , Freking B.A. ,

Placental insufficiency results in fetal loss, low birth weight, stillbirth, preweaning mortality and poor growth. Placental development begins at conceptus elongation, which is a primary factor controlling the size of the placenta. After elongation, the allantois develops outward from the embryo to establish the al lantochorion, which defines the size of the functional placenta. During implantation, chorionic trophoblasts adhere to endometrial epithelial cells. Placenta...

Molecular biology of trophoblast interferons and studies of their effects in vivo

Flint APF , Parkinson TJ , Stewart HJ , Vallet JL , Lamming GE

Summary. Southern blotting of bovine genomic DNA indicated the presence of at least 3 bovine tIFN genes. The full DNA sequence of one of these genes, thought to be expressed in trophoblast, has been determined, including 193 bp of 5' non-coding region. The inferred amino acid sequence of bovine tIFN is more similar to ovine tIFN (80%) than to bovine IFN-αII (70%). The 5' flanking sequence has some similarity with bovine IFN-&#94...
