Chorioallantoic placenta of the capybara at the limb bud stage II. (A) Immunostaining for PCNA indicates proliferation of the cytotrophoblasts lining a fold. Inset is a negative control (neg). (B) Immunostaining for PCNA also reveals nests of cytotrophoblasts within the spongy trophoblast pad. (C) Ultrastructure of cytotrophoblasts. TEM. (D) Detail of the cytotrophoblasts. TEM. Scale bars = 40 μm (A-B), 5 μm (C), 1 μm (D).
