Placenta Hofbauer Cells
- human villous macrophages
- highly vacuolated cells
- located the core of placental villi and cord
- macrophages with micropinocytotic activity and phagocytosis ability
- possible paracrine role for early stages of placental vasculogenesis
Tissue from a representative first miscarriage, 9th week of gestation (GA week 9; approx. post-fertilization age week 7).
Paraffin serial sections. A subpopulation of Hofbauer cells residing in the villous stroma, identified by are positive for CD100 (panel a, red asterisks)
Bar = 60 µm.
