The depletion protocol of CD206+ macrophages (MΦ) in the CD206 DTR mouse-derived endometriosis model. After one week of inoculation of endometrial fragments derived from donor mice (①), the formation of an endometriotic-like lesion in the peritoneal cavity was confirmed in some mice. (②). The recipient mice underwent intraperitoneal injection of Diphtheria Toxin (DT) for DT group or phosphate buffered salts (PBS) for control group every two days starting from day 7 to day14 after endometrial inoculation. After 2 weeks of inoculation of the endometrium, the total weights of endometriotic-like lesions per mouse were investigated. Estrogen was injected every week.
