DLL-1 ligand is increased during PGN+poly(I:C)-induced preterm labor.

(A) The mRNA expression of DLL-1 in uterus and placenta recovered from PBS and PGN+poly(I:C) treated groups. N = 6–11 each group. Immunofluorescence staining (Upper panel) and mean integrated density value (IDV) (lower panel) of DLL-1 (red) in uterus (B) and placenta (C) from PBS and PGN+poly(I:C) treated groups. Nuclei stained with DAPI (blue) in merged images. N = 4–5 each group. Six sections per animal were analyzed. Original magnification: 200 X. Bars: 10 μm. PBS and PGN+poly(I:C): intrauterine injections on day 14.5. Error bars = ±SEM. **P ≤ 0.01 Significant difference vs. PBS.
