Results
Specimen 1A/B,C: embryonic day 5.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS8: trophoblast giant cell Weak 1C , 1A/B Expression was seen in some rounded trophoblast cells emerging from the flat layer of trophectoderm at points of contact with the uterine wall.
TS8: embryo Absent 1A/B , 1C

Specimen 1A/B maternal: postnatal adult (more )
Note: Pregnant uterus at 5.5 days of gestation.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: uterus Absent 1A/B All uterine tissues, including the epithelium, stroma, and the uterine muscle coat were negative.
TS28: decidua Absent 1A/B
TS28: uterus stroma Absent 1A/B

Specimen 2A/B,C: embryonic day 6.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS9: trophoblast giant cell Present 2C , 2A/B Intense staining was detected in trophoblast giant cells emerging around the embryo and penetrating the uterine surface epithelium at points of implantation. Also, smaller trophoblast cells in contact with the uterine surface gave signal.

Specimen 3A/B,C: embryonic day 7.5 (more )
Note: Late primitive streak stage.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS11: trophoblast giant cell Strong 3C , 3A/B
TS11: embryo Absent 3C , 3A/B

Specimen 3A/B maternal: postnatal adult (more )
Note: Pregnant uterus at 7.5 days of gestation.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: decidua Absent 3A/B
TS28: uterus Absent 3A/B

Specimen not shown: postnatal adult (more )
Note: Non-pregnant uterus.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: uterus Absent
