Preimplantation human blastocysts release factors that differentially alter human endometrial epithelial cell adhesion and gene expression relative to IVF success

We used real-time RT-PCR arrays containing 84 genes associated with the epithelial to mesenchymal transition. We validated selected genes by real-time RT-PCR (n = 3) and immunohistochemistry in the human endometrium (n = 46). Adhesion assays were performed using HEECs and a trophoblast cell line (n = 3). Main
