3. Figure 2
The tissue distribution of EMO2 mRNA was analyzed by RT-PCR by using GAPDH mRNA as the control. EMO2 mRNA was detected in all of the tested tissues. B = brain; Lu = lung; H = heart; Li = liver; Sp = spleen; K = kidney; M = muscle; SI = small intestine; Sk = skin; T = testis; E = epididymis; O = ovary; U = uterus.

The antigen specificity of rabbit anti-EMO2 antisera was examined by Western blot analysis. Bacteria GST-EMO2/BL21 lysate [1], bacteria BL21 lysate [2], and bacteria GST/BL21 lysate [3] were subjected to SDS-PAGE. The anti-GST antibody (A), rabbit anti-EMO2 sera (B), and normal rabbit sera (C) were, respectively, used as the primary antibodies. The prepared rabbit anti-EMO2 antibody specifically recognized the fusion protein GST-EMO2 (∼53 kDa) that is contained in bacteria GST-EMO2/BL21 lysate but did not bind the GST protein (∼26 kDa) that is contained in bacteria GST/BL21 lysate.

5. Figure 4
Immunohistochemical staining of mouse uterus for the EMO2 protein using rabbit anti-EMO2 serum as the primary antibody. The uterine sections were stained with EMO2 for day 1 pregnant uterus (A), day 4 pregnant uterus (B), implantation sites (C), and interimplantation sites (D) on day 5 of pregnancy, implantation sites on days 6 (E), 7 (F), and 8 (G) of pregnancy, day 4 pseudopregnant uterus (I), day 5 pseudopregnant uterus (J), delayed implantation before (K), and 24 hours after (L) the activation, artificially induced decidualization (AID) of pseudopregnant uterus (M) and the control horn of AID (N), P-treated uterus (O), and oil-treated uterus (P). Panel H is the negative control for panel G, in which preimmunized normal rabbit serum is substituted for the primary antibody. l = lumen of uterus; g = gland; sc = stromal cells; dc = decidual cells; em = embryo. Scale bars represents 10 μm.
