Abstract excerpt
Transgenic mice expressing fluorescent proteins in specific cell populations are widely used for the study of in vivo behavior of these cells. We have recently reported that uterine mast cells (uMCs) are important for implantation and placentation. However, their in vivo localization in uterus before and during pregnancy is unknown. Herein, we report the direct observation of uMCs in vivo using double-transgenic...
