Figure 2

Immunostaining for TNFR1 (a) and FASL(b) TNFR1 is strongly expressed in the epithelium around the implantation chamber spreading out with decreasing intensity in the adjacent luminal epithelium on day 5.5 pc (a). On day 5.5 pc the FAS ligand is expressed in the developing decidua with a decreasing gradient from the implantation chamber. Staining intensity is enhanced at the antimesometrial side. IC, implantation chamber; E, luminal uterine epithelium; m, mesometrial side; am, antimesometrial side; PD, primary decidual zone. Bar represents 200 μm in a, b.
