Figure 3

Immunostaining of human uterus using antisera recognizing the L7-2 (R2) and L7-3 (R3) epitopes (A, B). Only a single patient in the mid-late secretory phase, is illustrated, since of other tissues examined from four other patients of the proliferative or early secretory phase, none showed consistent immunostaining (see text). This patient also exhibited small fibroid nodules (E, F) in the myometrium, which immunostained strongly and specifically for both LGR7 epitopes tested. The respective pre-immune sera from the same animals and at the same dilution as used for the primary antibodies, served as negative controls (C, D, G, H). Scale bar = 50 μm.
