Abstract excerpt

Although previous studies have shown that the tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) gene is expressed in pregnancy decidua, it has not been determined whether this gene is transcribed or translated in the endometrium prior to implantation. To address this question and to identify cells expressing the TNF gene, samples of normal cycling human endometria were tested for TNF mRNA by in situ hybridization using a...
