Implantation-Associated Changes in Bovine Uterine Expression of Integrins and Extracellular Matrix1
1 May 2002
Abstract excerpt
Appropriate integrin expression appears to be necessary for successful implantation of human embryos and varies considerably among species. The present study was undertaken to determine the distributions of integrin subunits alpha(1), alpha(3), and alpha(6) as well as the extracellular matrix (ECM) components collagen IV and laminin in implanting bovine trophoblast and endometrium. Immunohistochemical staining of...
