Immunocytochemistry of endometrial epithelial (left column) and stromal (right column) cells after 4 days in culture. Top row: cytokeratins 5, 6, 8, 17, and 19; middle row: vimentin; bottom row: CD10. Red-brown precipitate reveals positive antigen reaction. Bar = 20 μm.

4. Figure 3
Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction of RNA extracted from cultured endometrial epithelial and stromal cells. Amplicon sizes for GAPDH (450 bp) and epithelial neutrophil activating peptide 78 (ENA-78; 162 bp) are indicated by the arrows. Lane 1: 100 bp ladder; lanes 2–5: endometrial epithelial cells (EEC); lanes 6–9: endometrial stromal cells (ESC). Lanes 2 and 6: unstimulated cultures; lanes 3 and 7: interleukin-1β (IL-1β)–stimulated cultures; tracks 4 and 8: tumor necrosis factor α/interferon-γ (TNFα/IFNγ)–stimulated cultures (primers for ENA-78). Lanes 5 and 9: primers for GAPDH (unstimulated cultures).

5. Figure 4
Production of ENA-78 (top panel, 11 experiments) and IL-8 (bottom panel, 10 experiments) by cultured endometrial epithelial cells after 8, 24, and 48 hours in culture. The release in the presence of added cytokines is expressed as fold increase over the constitutive release in the absence of cytokines. ∗P<.05; ∗∗P<.001. Abbreviations as in Figure 3.
