Immunostaining of GR in the non-pregnant (NP) (left column, a, d, g), term pregnant (TP) (middle column, b, e, h) and postpartum (PP) (right column, c, f, i) groups. GR protein (brown staining) is present in the nuclei of cervical stroma (S), squamous epithelium (SQ), vessels (V) and glandular epithelium (GE) in all three groups. Some leukocytes, identified by their morphology, were positive for GR (black arrowheads) while others were negative (white arrowheads) (d and f). A negative control where the primary antibody was replaced by rabbit IgG is shown in h.
