ABSTRACT
Endotheliochorial cat (Felis catus) and lion (Panthera leo) term placentae and one 6 week placenta (term 60-63 days) from a dog (Canis familiaris) were stained with a panel of 24 lectins to compare glycosylation at the feto-maternal interface. Glycan expression in lion and cat placentae was very similar apart from the occurrence of terminal α-galactose in the lion trophoblast. The dog differed in several respects, particularly in the trophoblast, consistent with species-specific glycotypes differing according to the degree of their evolutionary divergence. The data suggest that evolutionary effects on the glycotype are most readily observed in trophoblast.
