Figure 4

Confocal laser scanning microscopic localization of ABCA1 and SR-BI at the maternal-fetal interface (the mesometrial side of uterus) during the peri-implantation period in Yorkshire pigs.

Positive signals of ABCA1 and SR-BI were shown in red and the blue staining represented nuclei (DAPI stained). The signals of ABCA1 and SR-BI were principally localized at the basolateral and apical side of the endometrial LE cell membrane. The sections stained with isotype matched normal rabbit IgG served as negative control (the control images of ABCA1 and SR-BI were in the Figs 6 or 8). Legend: Tr, trophoblast; LE, endometrial luminal epithelium; GE, glandular epithelium; D, day of pregnancy; Scale bar = 40 μm.
