C-X3-C motif ligand 1 (CX3CL1) expression in term decidua from patients with preeclampsia is increased without changes in maternal serum. Representative photomicrographs of immunofluorescent staining of CX3CL1 (green) in decidua from (A) gestational age-matched pregnancies and (B) patients with preeclampsia. These tissues were costained with anti-vimentin antibody (red). C-X3-C motif ligand 1 protein expression in (C) decidua. Arrows indicate decidual cells expressing membranous CX3CL1 (yellow or orange). The results are reported as mean ± standard error of the mean. n = 11; **P < .01.
