Fig. 3From: Modulatory effects of trophoblast-secreted CXCL12 on the migration and invasion of human first-trimester decidual epithelial cells are mediated by CXCR4 rather than CXCR7CXCR4 and CXCR7 were co-expressed in primary human first-trimester DECs cultures in vitro. Immunofluorescence detection of both CXCR4 and CXCR7 protein were expressed in the membrane, cytoplasm and nucleus of DECs. a Expression of CXCR4 (green fluorescence) in DECs; b Expression of CXCR7 (red fluorescence) in DECs; c DAPI staining in DECs; d The merged picture. Magnification: × 400. Experiments were performed using three independent endometrial samples. —50 μmBack to article page
