Article Title: Expression of two isoforms of CD44 in human endometrium.

doi: 10.1095/biolreprod51.4.739

Figure Lengend Snippet: FIG. 1. Immunofluorescence of CD44 in human endometrium. a) Proliferative phase tissue (mAb P3H9) showing immunoreactivity in epithelial cells in a gland as well as in surrounding stroma. b) Decidua of first trimester (mAb P3H9) with strong reactivity in decidual stromal cells. c) Late secretory phase tissue (mAb PIG12) showing lateral staining in gland cells. Gland lumen is to right of the field. d) Nuclear staining in same sections as c. e) Example of tissue (late secretory phase) in which stromal reactivity is present but many glands are unstained (mAb PIG12). Note that one gland at bottom right is immunopositive. f) Nuclear staining, same field as (e). Arrowheads in a, c, and e indicate the apical cell surface of glandular epithelium.

Article Snippet: MATERIALS AND METHODS Antibodies Mouse pan anti-CD44 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were as follows: P1G12 and P3H9 (14,15; Chemicon, Temecula, CA); F10-44-2 (Serotec, Oxford, UK); BU52 (The Binding Site, Birmingham, UK); A1G3 (Seralab, High Wycombe, UK); and E1.2, a generous gift from Dr. C. Isacke, Imperial College, London [38].

A–C) Cor- pus, D–F) distal cauda. A, D) 3 mo, B, E) 18 mo with numerous spermatozoa in the lumen, C, F) 18 mo with occasional sper- matozoa in the lumen. lu, Lumen; it, inter- tubular space; p, principal cells; b, basal cells; c, clear cells; bm, basement mem- brane. Arrows, ED1-positive cells; aster- isks, halo cells. Scale bar, A–F 5 64 mm.

Article Snippet: Mouse anti-rat ED1 (Serotec USA, Washington, DC) was used at a dilution 1/100; this antibody recognizes a cytoplasmic antigen in monocytes and most macrophages.
