Immunohistochemical staining for endometrial SSEA-1 and SOX9 in normal fertile women without endometriosis (n = 14) and women with surgically confirmed symptomatic endometriosis (n = 10). Representative 400× micrographs showing the basalis and functionalis staining (A). Scale bar is 50 μm. Graphs showing immunohistochemical staining quickscores for SSEA1 (B) and SOX9 (C) protein expression in endometrial functionalis of healthy control women and endometriosis patients in the secretory phase of the cycle. Charts display median and quartiles with whiskers showing the range. Graphs depicting the enzymes likely responsible for catalysing the SSEA-1 epitope, FUT3 (D), FUT4 (E), and SOX9 ( F) mRNA expression in healthy fertile control tissue (n = 3) and endometriosis patient samples (n = 6). Charts display median and quartiles with whiskers showing the range but just median and range when n = 3.
