Photomicrographs demonstrating the immunoreactivity for progesterone receptor (PR) in the ovarian and uterine tissue sections of rabbits in the follicular and luteal phases. a ovarian section in the follicular phase showing positive PR immune expression in the zona pellucida (ZP) and granulosa cells (GC) of primary follicle. b ovarian section in the luteal phase exhibiting positive reactivity for PR in the granulosa lutein cells (arrows) of corpus luteum. c & e uterine sections in the follicular phase revealing high expression for PR receptor in the (c) endometrial epithelium (arrows), (e) endometrial glands (G), and blood vessels (BV). d & f uterine sections in the luteal phase displaying fewer reactivity for PR receptor in the (d) endometrial epithelium (arrows), (h) glands (G). Notice strong reactivity in the blood vessels (BV). (All photos X400, Scale bar = 50 μm, except photo no. a; X100, Scale bar = 200 μm)
