FIGURE 1 Immunophenotypical changes of stem cell markers in the uterine endometrium over a lifetime. (A–C) In the fetal endometrium; (D–F) in the proliferative phase in the reproductive period; (G–I) in the secretory endometrium in the reproductive period. (A, B, G) bcl-2 expressions. (D–F, H) CD117 expression in both endometrial stroma (D, E) and glands (F). (C) Fetal ovary as a positive control of CD117. (I) CD34 expression in the stroma of the basalis layer. Cho.
