2 Figure 1 Endometriotic lesions. Drug effect on the gene expression of TNF-α (A), ICAM-1 (B), TGF-β (C), and MMP-1 (D) in endometriotic lesions from baboons with induced endometriosis. The TGF-β mRNA expression was significantly lower in endometriosis lesions from baboons treated with recombinant human TNF-binding protein-1 (rhTBP-1) when compared with those obtained in the placebo group. ∗P<.05.

3 Figure 2 Endometrium. Drug effect on the gene expression of TNF-α (A), ICAM-1 (B), TGF-β (C), and MMP-1 (D) in eutopic endometrium from baboons with induced endometriosis. Quantitative evaluation of mRNA expression levels for TNF-α, TGF-β, MMP-1, and ICAM-1 was comparable in endometrium from baboons treated with recombinant human TNF-binding protein-1 (rhTBP-1) or the group treated with antide when compared with the placebo group. HPRT = hypoxanthine phosphoribosyl transferase. Fertility and Sterility  , DOI: ( /j.fertnstert ) Copyright © 2008 American Society for Reproductive Medicine Terms and Conditions

4 Figure 3 Few TNF-α–positive cells were detected in the stromal region of endometriotic lesions (A′ [antide] and C′ [PBS]) and in connective tissue (B′ [recombinant human TNF-binding protein-1 (rhBP-1)]) in both treated and control groups. No positive immunohistochemical staining for TNF-α was detected in the epithelial or glandular regions from the endometriosis lesions in both treated groups (A [antide] or B [recombinant human TNF-binding protein-1 (rhTBP-1)]) and control groups (C [PBS]).
