MUC1 and microvilli in the uterus.
(A) Immunohistochemical localization of MUC1 in wildtype (WT) and PUGKO uteri on DOPP 4. Note the absence of MUC1 on the luminal epithelia of WT but not PUGKO uteri. Sections were counterstained with hematoxylin. Abbreviations: GE, glandular epithelium; LE, luminal epithelium; S, stroma. Scale bars = 100 μm for left panels and 50 μm for right panels. (B) Transmission electron microscopy analysis of the uterine luminal epithelium from wildtype (WT) control and PUGKO uteri on DOPP 5 at 800× (left panels) and 2500× magnification (right panels). Note the increase number and length of microvilli in the PUGKO mice. Abbreviations: MV, microvilli; S, stroma. Scale bars = 2 μm for left panels and 0.5 μm for right panels.
