Figure 2From: Expression of extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN) and its related extracellular matrix degrading enzymes in the endometrium during estrous cycle and early gestation in cattleLocalization of EMMPRIN mRNA in the endometrial tissues during the estrous cycle and early gestation. Seven-micrometer sections of the endometrium were hybridized with DIG labeled antisense cRNA probes (A-E) and sense cRNA probes (A'-E'). A, A': before ovulation (BOV); B, B': after ovulation (AOV); C, C': middle of estrous cycle (MEC); D, D': Day 19 of gestation; E, E': Day 30 of gestation. Superimposed figures showed the glandular region. le, luminal epithelium; st, stroma; con, conceptus. Scale bar = 20 μm (objective; 20×).Back to article page
