From: Fermitin family homolog-2 (FERMT2) is highly expressed in human placental villi and modulates trophoblast invasion

Co-immunofluorescence analysis of FERMT2 (F2) and CDH1 expression in human placental tissue during the first (a) and second (b) trimester. Representative images from week (W) 8 and W14 are shown. A) Co-immunolocalization of FERMT2 and CDH1 was observed in the most proximal portions of extravillous trophoblast columns (EVT). B) Marked co-immunolocalization was also noted in villous cytotrophoblast (CT). IgG: mouse and rabbit immunoglobulins used in place of primary antisera. BV: blood vessel; ST: syncytiotrophoblast. Nuclei were stained with DAPI. Scale bar = 50 μm
