From: Expression of leptin and its long form receptor at the porcine maternal-fetal interface: contrasting healthy and arresting conceptus attachment sites during early and mid-pregnancy

Figure 5

Localization of the leptin (LEP) protein at gestational days (gd) 20 and 50 in the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) and endometrium (Endo) of the porcine maternal-fetal interface. Representative immunofluorescence images of LEP localization in the endometrium and CAM. No differences were observed among tissues regardless of conceptus health status and gestational day. Images A, B and C show an experimental sample (with glandular staining), a negative control (rabbit immunoglobulin), and a hematoxylin stain of an endometrial tissue section, respectively. Images D, E and F show an experimental sample (CAM staining), a negative control (rabbit immunoglobulin), and the hematoxylin stain of a CAM tissue section, respectively. “G” indicates gland, “V” indicates blood vessel and “E” indicates epithelium. Magnified at 200x.
