A study was made with the light and electron microscopes of the granulated metrial gland cells of the decidua basalis of the pregnant mouse uterus, up to day 11 of pregnancy. The granulated metrial gland cells are large, up to 50 mu in diameter, mono- or binucleate and the glycogen rich cytoplasm typically contains many large glycoprotein granules which may be up to 5 mu in diameter. Morphological evidence is described in support of a lymphocyte-like cell being the precursor to the granulated metrial gland cell. This differentiation sequence is similar to that already proposed in the rat but differences between the ultrastructure of the mature metrial gland cells of rats and mice were noted.
利用光学显微镜和电子显微镜对妊娠小鼠子宫基蜕膜颗粒状子宫内膜腺细胞进行了研究，直至妊娠第11天。颗粒状子宫内膜腺细胞体积较大，直径可达50微米，单核或双核，富含糖原的细胞质中通常含有许多大的糖蛋白颗粒，直径可达5微米。文中描述了形态学证据，支持淋巴细胞样细胞是颗粒状子宫内膜腺细胞的前体。这种分化序列与大鼠中已提出的序列相似，但注意到大鼠和小鼠成熟子宫内膜腺细胞的超微结构存在差异。
