Abstract
Implantation of the mammalian embryo in the uterus involves the formation of cellular contact between embryo and maternal tissues. The molecular-biological mechanisms of this process are poorly understood. Systematic investigations in the rabbit have provided evidence that certain enzymes, particularly a peculiar trophoblast-dependent proteinase, play an interesting role.
