Results of this study showed that conceptus tissues during early pregnancy and chorioallantoic tissues during mid to late pregnancy expressed ABCC1, ABCC9, SLCO4C1, and SLCO5A1 mRNAs, and levels of ABCC1 and ABCC9 mRNAs in chorioallantoic membrane changed during mid to late pregnancy.
Skin samples treated with an antibacterial-antimycotic drug mixture (Gibco; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) were inoculated onto the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of 10-day-old specific pathogen-free chicken embryos and typical pocklike CAM lesions were obtained (online Technical Appendix Figure 2).
Biological activity of compound obtained from virtual screening was further evaluated by performing chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay.
Moreover, in an in vivo model of the chorioallantoic membrane of the chicken embryo, prolactin enhances vessel density and the tortuosity of the vasculature and pillar formation, which are hallmarks of intussusceptive angiogenesis.
