Values represent meanGS.E.M. from three independent samples with duplicates within a day of conceptus collection. **Statistically significant differences in mRNA levels (P!0.01). (B) Immunohisto- chemical analysis of ITGA4 (a, b, c, and d) or VCAM1 (e, f, g, and h) expression in the bovine uterus obtained from day 22 pregnant animals. Tissue sections (10 mm) from day 22 uteri were immunostained for ITGA4 using an anti-ITGA4 antibody (a and c) or normal mouse IgG as a negative control at low (b) and higher magnification (d). (c) Observation of boxed area in B-a at a higher magnification.
