From: Differentiating mouse embryonic stem cells express markers of human endometrium
Mouse EBs express human endometrial markers, confirmed by PCR. EBs express human endometrium glandular cell marker CD9 (green, a), stromal marker CD13 (red, b). Minimal CD9/CD13 co-expression is observed at this point (c). HOXa10 co-expression (green) with CD9 and CD13 are shown in (d and e), respectively. Mesenchymal stem cell markers CD146/PDGFR-β are shown in (f) (yellow). White arrows indicate positive expression. Scale bars indicate 20 μm. RT-PCR confirmed expression of CD9 and CD13 as well as Foxa2, Hand1, Hoxa10, ER-A and -B, and PR-A and -B (g; ladder in left column, positive and negative controls shown in far right columns)
