DBA-lectin staining in Cerradomys in mid gestation (MZUSP/APC 1177). (A) Positively reacting cells in the decidua that were usually in close association with maternal blood vessels. (B) They possessed large amounts of granules and represented mature uNK cells. (C) DBA-lectin staining also marked cells inside the labyrinth, particularly the endothelium of the fetal capillaries (arrow). (D) The same at higher magnification. (E) The visceral yolk sac epithelium was stained by DBA-lectin.
