Figure 1

Immunolocalization of autophagy-related proteins in corpora lutea (CL) of the vizcacha throughout pregnancy. Immunostaining of BECN1 (A–D), LC3B (E–H), SQSTM1 (I–L), and LAMP1 (M–P) in primary (black arrow), secondary [note the retained oocyte (green arrows)], and regressed CL (red arrow) in early-, mid-, and term-pregnancy. Normal CL refers to healthy primary or secondary CL with no morphological evidence of regression. Low magnification images illustrating the expression of each autophagic protein throughout gestation are displayed in the supplementary material Fig. S1. Scale bars: 50 μm.
