Protein expression of PEDF, VEGF and VEGFR2 in third trimester placenta. a, b PEDF and its receptor are predominantly expressed by villous trophoblast. c, d VEGF is expressed in trophoblasts and endothelial cells, similar to its pro-angiogenic receptor VEGFR2. e Isotype controls. Green staining: PEDF, VEGF, VEGFR2; red staining: CK7, CD31; blue staining: Dapi. TB = trophoblast layer, fpEC = feto-placental endothelial cells. Original magnification: ×200
