Representative microscopic picture of the endometriotic-like lesion of the DT and control group. In CD206 DTR mice, depletion of CD206+ macrophages (MΦ) was induced by injection of Diphtheria Toxin (DT). Representative endometriotic-like lesions in control (a and c) and DT group (b and d) were shown. The arrows indicate the endometriotic epithelial and stromal cells. Immunostaining of cytokeratin was performed in control (a and c) and DT (b and d) to confirm the presence of endometriotic epithelial cells in the same lesion as in both groups (e, f). Rabbit IgG was used for negative control (g, h).
