Figure 3: Localization of Figf mRNA in non-implantation (NIS) and implantation (IS) tissue segments from Day 10.5-11.5 pregnant mice. (A-E) Day 10.5 IS,(F-J) Day 11.5 IS. Global linear adjustments of the brightness and color level were made on the photomicrographs to more accurately represent what was seen on the slides under the microscope. Numbers above scale bars are in microns. Hybridization signal is purple while nuclear stain is pink. All sections in photomicrographs are oriented mesometrial and anti-mesometrial regions down and up, respectively. Abbrev: db, decidualbasalis; dc, decidua capsularis; MLap, mesometrial lymphoid aggregate of pregnancy; Myo, myometrium; Plac, placenta; pe, parietal endoderm; sa, spiral arteriole; tgc, trophoblast giant cell; v, vascular endothelium.
