Abstract: Sixty BDF1 female mice were divided into two groups: estrus cycle and pregnancy (day 4~10).The endometrium of mice were studied by immunohistochemistry.The proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) labelling index (%) was studied throughout estrus cycle and pregnancy.The results suggested that:①In estrus the number of PCNA labelling cells was the highest.These cells were 21.8% of all kinds of endometrium cells.They distributed mainly over superficial epithelium (60% of superficial epithelium).There was a slight increase of the PCNA cell in the disestrus (9.4% of all kinds of endoinetrium cells).They also distributed mainly over superficial epithelium (26% of superficial epithelium).②In pregnancy the PCNA labelling cell distributed mainly over upper decidua.They were the highest (14% ) in decidua of 9 th day of pregnancy.

Key words: PCNA cell, endometrium, immunohistochemistry
