Figure 1

Histology of the female reproductive tract (FRT). This figure illustrates the two immunologically distinct regions of FRT (see left side), i.e., the pathogen-laden lower FRT, shown by the yellow arrow, and the “sterile” upper FRT (see blue arrow) and their respective histological sections (see images in the middle and right side).
