Immunohistochemical localization of CRH and CRH-BP in the human cervix. CRH in the cervical epithelium and extracellular matrix in the (A) non-pregnant cervix, (B) term not in labor cervix, (C) term in labor cervix. CRH-BP in the cervical epithelium and extracellular matrix in the (D) non-pregnant cervix, (E) term not in labor cervix, (F) term in labor cervix. Prior to staining, these samples were fixed in a solution of 4% paraformaldehyde and 14% saturated picric acid in 0.1 M phosphate buffer for 2 hours and thereafter rinsed in Sörensen's buffer. The brown color represents positive staining. The magnification is 1 × 100.
