3 Figure 2 Immunohistochemical cytokine expression in villous samples of spontaneous miscarriage (SM) and voluntary termination of pregnancy (VTP). (A) Prolactin (PRL) immunoreaction was negative in SM cases [A1] while, in VTP cases a strong PRL immunostaining was detected in cytotrophoblast, macrophages and stromal cells [A2]. (B) No differences in the immunoreaction of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) were present between cases [B1] and controls [B2]: syncytiotrophoblast, cytotrophoblast, macrophage, and stromal cells were TNF-α positive. (C) Interleukin-2 (IL-2) immunoreaction was negative in VTP [C2] samples while positive IL-2 immunostaining has been shown in a few SM samples in cytotrophoblast, macrophages and stromal cells [C1]. (D) No differences in the immunoreaction of interferon gamma (IFN-γ) were present between cases [D1] and controls [D2]: syncytiotrophoblast, cytotrophoblast, macrophage, and stromal cells were IFN-γ positive.

4 Figure 3 Immunohistochemical cytokine expression in decidua basalis and parietalis. The decidual stromal cells (arrow) and glandular epithelium (arrowhead) expressed all cytokines investigated in our study, albeit with different intensity of staining. *Trophoblastic cell columns of anchoring villi. $Spiral arteries.
