Popis: With specific monoclonal antibodies, we found that human endomethal stromal cells and decidual cells express two functionrelated surface antigens. Indirect immunofluorescence staining revealed that both endometrial stromal cells and decidual cells during the first trimester of pregnancy expressed cluster of differentiation (CD) 13 antigen and CD1O antigen, which are identical to aminopeptidase N and neutral endopeptidase, respectively. By flow cytometric analysis, CD1 3 antigen was detected on 8293% of the examined cells, and CD1O antigen was detected on 75-93% of the examined cells in endometrial stromal cellenriched preparations. Furthermore, peptidase activity was detected in these cell preparations by an assay based on the hydrolysis of alanine-p-nitroanilide into p-nitroaniline and alanine.
