Summary of Ratios of Mean Decidual Vessel Wall to Lumen Cross-sectional Area Measured at Days 10, 12, and 14 of Gestation

Mouse strain		Day 10 of gestation (mean W/L* ± SEM)		Day 12 of gestation (mean W/L ± SEM)		Day 14 of gestation (mean W/L ± SEM)
NK+‡		1.27 ± 0.32§		0.44 ± 0.27§		0.68 ± 0.12§
NK−‡		2.51 ± 0.41‖		1.21 ± 0.39¶		2.13 ± 0.37‖

^* W/L = vessel wall cross-sectional area/lumen cross-sectional area ratio measured at ×200 magnification.  

^‡ NK⁻ = three NK cell nonreconstituted tgε26 females; NK⁺ = seven NK cell reconstituted tgε26 females.  

^§ Not statistically different than CBA/J.  

^‖  P <0.01 as compared to CBA/J.
