Figure 4

(A–D) Cytoplasmic localization of IGF-1 in stromal cells (SC) in eutopic endometrium (A), endometriotic lesion (B) and endometriotic cyst (C). Note the absence of staining in glandular epithelium (GE) in eutopic endometrium as opposed to the positive staining of glandular epithelium in endometriotic lesions. (D) Negative control. (E-H) Cytoplasmic localization of MGF (IGF-1Ec) in stromal cells (SC) of tissue biopsies from eutopic endometrium (E), endometriotic lesion (F) and endometriotic cyst biopsies (G). Note the absence of MGF staining in glandular epithelium biopsies (GE) of the eutopic endometrium and endometriotic cyst as opposed to the positive staining of glandular epithelium in endometriotic lesion. (H) Negative control. Solid arrows represent stromal cells; hollow arrows represent glandular epithelium.
