Figure 8. Confocal laser scanning microscopic localization of SR-BI at the maternal-fetal interface in Yorkshire and Meishan pigs.

Figure 8

Positive staining of SR-BI is shown in red, blue staining represents nuclei (DAPI stained). The signals were mostly diffused in cells of Tr, LE and GE in Yorkshire and Meishan pigs on Days 26, 50 and 95 of pregnancy. And specially on Day 95 of pregnancy, in Yorkshire pigs, SR-BI staining were mostly observed in Tr and just few positive signals were observed in LE at the maternal-fetal interface; while in Meishan pigs, SR-BI signals were strongly located at the maternal-fetal interface, including all the Tr and LE. Legend: Tr, trophoblast; LE, endometrial luminal epithelium; GE, glandular epithelium; D, day of pregnancy; NC, negative control; Scale bar = 40 μm.
