Fig. 11From: Very small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs) in adult mouse uterine perimetrium and myometriumImmuno-localization of OCT-4 in uterine myometrium (M) and perimetrium (P) after treatment with FSH (a-e). At higher magnification, OCT-4 expression was clearly observed in the perimetrium and myometrium after FSH treatment. Cells in the perimetrium showed cells expressing nuclear OCT-4. In the myometrium, most of cells showed cytoplasmic expression. Interestingly few spherical cells of small size were observed positive for OCT-4 expression (encircled).
