The anti-CD34 antibody stains endothelial cells of the fetal circulation in the villous mesenchymal core and also endothelial cells which line the intervillous space; the arrowhead indicates a special site where endothelium connects with syncytiotrophoblast (B). HLA-G identifies extravillous cytotrophoblasts located in the basal plate (C). Scale bar represents 100 µm.
