Extravillous trophoblast model shows generation of bioequivalent N-glycans can maintain immunological protection against natural killer cell cytotoxicity

Extravillous trophoblasts (EVTs) are a trophoblast subpopulation critical for feto-maternal tolerance during early pregnancy, primarily using HLA-G to exert immunomodulatory effect, and possessing N-glycomic profiles distinct from other trophoblast subpopulations. However, whether the N-glycosylation confers distinct immunological properties to EVTs remains poorly understood. To investigate this,…
