Summary. The distribution, morphology and antigen expression of endometrial glands, uterine vessels and fetal trophoblast have been studied in third trimester placental bed tissues with a panel of monoclonal antibodies in immunohistochemical techniques. Residual endometrial glands were numerous but often were attenuated or compressed and could only be identified clearly with epithelial cell markers. These glands must be clearly distinguished from vessels and trophoblast in immunological studies of cells in the placental bed. The changing pattern of antigen expression of both maternal glands and fetal trophoblast in placental bed tissues may indicate a form of local regulation of gene expression.
