Photomicrograph of (A) chorionic villi and (B) decidua after haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining (200x magnification). The data represent a portion of each sample from thirteen healthy pregnant women. Staining for IL-6, IDO1 and SOCS3 showed that these proteins were scattered in syncytiotrophoblast of the chorionic villi (C-E) and extravillous cytotrophoblasts of decidua (F-H), respectively (400x magnification). Images were taken from the same chorionic villi (A, C-E) and decidua (B, F-H) sample. IL-6 (C, F) was present in the cytoplasm and cytomembrance and was stained yellow or light yellow, IDO1 (D, G) was localized in the cytoplasm and was stained yellow or brown yellow, SOCS3 was present in both the cytoplasm and nucleus was stained yellow or brown yellow (E, H)
