Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of BM-MSCs transplantation on the expression of ovarian Kisspeptin system of the POI rats ( A – I ). Representative images from the anti-Kiss1 protein immunostained rat ovarian section of the CON ( A , B ), POI ( C , D ), and POI + BM-MSCs groups ( E , F ) lower and higher magnification, respectively, showing cytoplasmic immune expression of germinal epithelium (GE), interstitial stromal cells (IS), and granulosa lutein cells (GL) as intense, faint, and moderate immunoreactivity in CON, POI, and POI + BM-MSCs groups, respectively. Scale bars A , C , E = 200 μm; B , D , F = 50 μm, G . Relative expression of ovarian mRNA Kiss-r1, H. Relative expression of ovarian mRNA Kiss-1, and I . Area % of ovarian Kiss-1 positive immunostaining. The values represent the average of 6 to 8 rats in each group ± SEM * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001
Article Snippet: Immunohistochemistry for VEGF and Kiss-1 was done using a primary polyclonal rabbit anti-VEGF-A (ABclonal, Cat. No. # A0280) and a primary rabbit polyclonal anti-kisspeptin antibody (Bioss, Cat. No. # bs-0749R) and their related secondary antibodies.
Techniques: Transplantation Assay, Expressing, Immunostaining
