Figure 4From: 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 protein in the endometrial tissues throughout the estrous cycle and on Day 19 of gestation according to immunohistochemistry analysis. Seven-micrometer sections of endometrium were immunostained with anti-EMMPRIN antibody (A-D) and normal rabbit serum (A'-D'). A, A': before ovulation (BOV); B, B': after ovulation (AOV); C, C': middle of estrous cycle (MEC); D, D': Day 19 of gestation. Abbreviations are same as figure 2. Scale bar = 20 μm (objective; 20×).Back to article page
