N2 - Short-time (≤7 days) cultures of trophoblast mononuclear cells isolated from term placentae were challenged with vaccinia virus. Cytopathic effects were induced in crude placental cell preparations as well as in cultures established after negative immunosorting of major histocompatibility complex class I epitope-expressing cells, i.e. cultures exclusively derived from villous cytotrophoblast according to our present state of knowledge. The trophoblast in vitro supported a full replicative cycle of both wild-type viruses and a recombinant clone serving as a vector for the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 envelope gene. Results may shed light on mechanisms involved in the rarely observed foetal damage caused by smallpox vaccination during pregnancy.
