From: Transmembrane and truncated (SEC) isoforms of MUC1 in the human endometrium and Fallopian tube
Immunofluorescence (A,C,E,G) and matching phase contrast (B,D,F,H) micrographs of (A,B) tubal (fimbrial) tissue (luteal phase day 3), (C,D) tubal (ampullary) tissue (luteal phase day 8) and (E-H) mid secretory endometrium (luteal phase day 8) stained with McAb 7H10/5. The antibody recognises the unique C-terminal peptide of MUC1/SEC. The interrupted pattern of staining in the tubal epithelium (A,C) reflects an association with ciliated cells. Staining is apparent at the apical surface of both luminal (E) and glandular (G) endometrial epithelium, and is also associated with secretory material.
