Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 4. Flutamide reduced the infiltration of PMN cells in GBS infected placental compartments. (a) Coronal section of placental compartments showing the maternal (decidua, DC), maternofetal zone (junctional zone, JZ), and fetal (labyrinth, LB) compartments. (b) PMN infiltrations (circular in shape, stained dark purple/brown staining, black arrowheads) in DC, JZ and LB compartments of the placenta.
Article Snippet: A rabbit GBS serotype Ia group-B typing antisera set (270,023 Ia, 1:500; Denka Seiken Co., Tokyo, Japan) was used to determine GBS infiltrates and a rabbit anti-PMN antibody (CLA51140, 1:100; Cedarlane Lab, Burlington, ON, Canada) was used to identify PMN infiltrates in maternal (decidua), junctional, and fetal (labyrinth) placental compartments.
Techniques: Infection, Staining
