Figure 1: Expression of Sox17 in the oviduct and uterus.
From: Mouse Sox17 haploinsufficiency leads to female subfertility due to impaired implantation
(a–f) Fluorescence emitted from GFP without staining in nonpregnant, WT and Sox17+/GFP female reproductive organs. (g–j”) Immunofluorescent staining of GFP (green) and Sox17 (red) in the WT (g–h”) and Sox17+/GFP (i–j”) uterus. Nuclei are stained with Hoechst (blue). Enlarged images corresponding to dotted boxes in (g) and (i) are shown in (h–h”) and (j–j”), respectively. Abbreviations: ov, ovary; od, oviduct; ut, uterus; le, luminal epithelium; ge, glandular epithelium; s, stroma; and bv, blood vessels. Scale bars, 500 μm for (a–c); 200 μm for (d–f); 100 μm for (g,i); and 50 μm for (h”,j”).
