Figure 5: Intrauterine HK-GBS injection induces placental m-calpain expression in a time-dependent manner. Day 14.5 pregnant mice were euthanized 14 hours after exposure to PBS (i) or HK-GBS (ii). Placentas were removed and stained for m-calpain. Data from a representative of three separate experiments is shown.
