Figure 4From: Spatiotemporal expression of the serine protease inhibitor, SERPINE2, in the mouse placenta and uterus during the estrous cycle, pregnancy, and lactationImmunolocalization of SERPINE2 in the mouse uterus during early pregnancy. Uterine sections prepared from a pregnant uterus on days 0.5 (A), 4.5 (B), and 7.5 (C, D, and a-d) were histochemically stained as described in Figure 2. A control section stained with control antiserum is shown (C). The black and white bars indicate 500 and 50 μm, respectively. amz, antimesometrial zone; cm, circular muscle; dec, decidua; e, embryo; gc, giant cells; ge, glandular epithelium; le, luminal epithelium; lm, longitudinal muscle; mz, mesometrial zone.Back to article page
