Abstract
Summary A-type particles have been detected by electron microscopy in placentas from four strains of mice: AKR, Balb/c, C3H, and DBA/2N. Complete structures were observed within rough endoplasmic reticulum cisternae of the placental labyrinth cytotrophoblasts. A marked prevalence of such particles was observed in the DBA/ 2N mice. Similar particles were also found in small cytotrophoblastic elements of the junctional zone (located between labyrinth and maternal decidua) of all mouse strains studied. The numbers of junctional zone particles in all four strains were roughly equivalent.
