Figure 1 Expression of IL-6, IL-8, and their receptors in FTs with ectopic gestation and normal FTs. IL-6 shows patchy strong expression near the implantation site (A) and weak expression away from implantation site (B) in FTs with ectopic gestation. The expression is weak in normal FTs (C). IL-6Rα shows diffuse strong expression near the implantation site (E) and weak expression away from the implantation site (F) in FTs with ectopic gestation. The expression is strong in normal FTs (G). IL-8 shows diffuse strong expression near the implantation site (I) and away from implantation site (J) in FTs with ectopic gestation. The expression is weak in normal FTs (K). IL-RA shows diffuse strong expression near the implantation site (M) and weak expression away from the implantation site (N) in FTs with ectopic gestation. The expression is weak in normal FTs (O). IL-RB shows patchy strong expression near the implantation site (Q) and weak expression away from the implantation site (R) in FTs with ectopic gestation. The expression is strong in normal FTs (S). Panels D, H, L, P, and T represent negative controls of IL-6, IL-6Rα, IL-8, IL-8RA, and IL-8RB, respectively. Scale bars: 250 μm. S = stroma.
