Leukaemia inhibitory factor mRNA concentration peaks in human endometrium at the time of implantation and the blastocyst contains mRNA for the receptor at this time
1 Jul 1994
Abstract excerpt
Maternal endometrial leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is required for successful implantation in mice. Mice with homozygous deletions in this gene fail to support implantation. The localization of immunoreactive LIF and the concentration of the mRNA encoding human LIF in normal endometrium during the menstrual cycle were investigated. The amount of RNA was low or undetectable in the proliferative phase but...
