Table 2 Compartment specific expression profile of KLF5 during D4–D8 of gestation and in AntiE2-, AntiP4-, and AntiE2+P4-treated females. Samples of ovarian steroid antagonist–treated group were collected on the morning of D4. Immunofluorescence signal was quantified in various embryonic and uterine cell types by ImageJ software. Intensity values are expressed as means of observations (n = 5, mean value ± standard error, P < 0.05). E, embryo, EPC, ectoplacental cone; LE, luminal epithelium, GE, glandular epithelium; PDZ, primary decidual zone; SDZ, secondary decidual zone
