Recruitment of myeloid cells in the mouse decidua. Decidual suspensions were stained with anti-CD45, F4/80, Gr1 and Neu7/4. Leucocytes were gated on CD45 and further analysed on the Neu7/4 versus Gr1 dot plot. Macrophages were defined as F4/80++ or CD11b++ and Neu7/4−. Monocytes were identified as Neu7/4++ and Gr1− to Gr1+/−. Neutrophils were defined as Neu7/4+, Gr1++ [23]. Decidua was analysed during late gestation, term not in labour, term labour and 2–6 hrs post-partum (TL), LPS-induced PTL (LPS PTL) and RU486-induced PTL (RU PTL). Shown are non-labouring samples (GD15, LPS Sham surgery or RU Vehicle, white bars), GD18 (term not in labour, doted bars), GD19 (term not in labour, checkered bars), term and preterm labouring samples (grey bars) or post-partum samples (black bars). Data represent mean ± SEM of four to eight decidual samples. Significant difference with GD15/RU486 Vehicle/Sham LPS is indicated by *P < 0.05.
