Localization of Tnfrsf9 mRNA in non-implantation (NIS) and implantation (IS) tissue segments of mouse uterine tissue from Day 5-5-9.5 pregnant mice. Photomicrographs show tissues from Day 5.5 NIS (a) or IS (b-e), Day 6.5 NIS (f) or IS (g-j), Day 7.5 NIS (k) or IS (l-o), Day 8.5 NIS (p) or IS (q-t), and Day 9.5 IS (u-x). These are representative of at least 3 independent samples. Global linear adjustments of the brightness and color level were made on the photomicrographs to more accurately represent what was seen on the slides under the microscope. Numbers above scale bars are in microns. Abbrev: AMD, antimesometrial decidua; E, embryo; EPC, ectoplacental cone; MD, mesometrial decidua; MLap, mesometrial lymphoid aggregate of pregnancy; Plac, developing placenta; TGC, trophoblast giant cells; V, vascular endothelium.
