Spatial and temporal expression of ADAM-15 in mouse uterus on days 1-8 of pregnancy. A, immunoblot results of uterine tissue extracts. Numerical numbers indicate the day of pregnancy; n and m indicate the type of uterine tissues obtained from implantation (m) or interimplantation (n) sites. B, immunolocalization of ADAM-15 in mouse uterus during early pregnancy. Uterine cross sections are shown for pregnant day 1 (A), pregnant day 3 (B), pregnant day 5 (C), interimplantation site (D), and implantation site (E) on day 6 of pregnancy. le, luminal epithelium; ge, glandular epithelium. × 100.
