Abstract
DNA contents of nuclei from sheep (Ovis aries), goat (Capra hircus) (each n = 2), water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) (n = 4), and deer (Dama dama) (n = 1 ) placentomes were measured cytophotometrically. In all specimens nuclei wi th approximately 8C DNA content were found. These findings, in addition to earlier results on bovine trophoblast giant cells (Klisch et al. Placenta 2 0, 451-458, 1999), indicate that genome multiplication is a normal feature of the development of ruminant trophoblast giant cells.
