Notes:
Fetal-maternal interfaces of rat placentas, obtained from midgestation to term, were examined for their content of electron-dense fibrinoid. Although increased amounts of interfacial fibrinoid were noted as the time of parturition was approached, at no time did fibrinoid form an intact, electron-dense barrier between the fetal trophoblast giant cells and the maternal decidual cells of the definitive rat placenta. Large areas of apparently viable fetal trophoblast and viable maternal decidua were intimately juxtaposed throughout the latter half of pregnancy. It is concluded that a poorly discontinuous layer of fibrinoid cannot serve as an effective barrier to a proposed flow of transplantation antigens from the fetoplacental unit to the maternal host.
