Expression of tight junction molecule “claudins” in the lower oviductal segments and their changes with egg-laying phase and gonadal steroid stimulation in hens.

Tight junctions in the mucosal epithelium have essential roles as a mucosal barrier to prevent invasion of microbes into the hen oviduct tissue. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of the egg-laying phase and estradiol on the expression of tight junction molecule “claudins” in the low...
