Figure 5.
Identification of cells in the abortive decidua expressing nuclear receptors. Expression of LXR (a), RXRα (d), and, PPARγ (g) is shown in red. Expression of HLA-G as a marker for extravillous trophoblast cells is shown in green ((b), (e), (h), resp.). Coexpression of both, nuclear receptor in red and HLA-G in green, indicates extravillous trophoblast cells expressing LXR (c), RXRα (f), and PPARγ (i). The same expression scheme was identified in normal control decidua.
