Abstract
Endometriosis is a chronic, painful disease whose etiology remains unknown. The development of novel therapies and diagnostic tools for endometriosis has been limited due in part to challenges in studying the disease. Recently, a few reports have shown that immunosuppressive cells, such as myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC), may promote the progression of endometriosis. MDSCs are a heterogeneous group of myeloid cells with potent immunosuppressive and angiogenic properties. Here, in this chapter, we provide a detailed protocol to phenotype MDSC as well as to isolate and assess the functionality from the peritoneal cavity of a mouse model of surgically induced endometriosis. Importantly, the current mouse model has been widely used to study how the immune system, hormones, and environmental factors affect endometriosis as well as the effects of endometriosis on fertility and pain.
期刊介绍：
For over fifty years, Methods in Cell Biology has helped researchers answer the question "What method should I use to study this cell biology problem?" Edited by leaders in the field, each thematic volume provides proven, state-of-art techniques, along with relevant historical background and theory, to aid researchers in efficient design and effective implementation of experimental methodologies. Over its many years of publication, Methods in Cell Biology has built up a deep library of biological methods to study model developmental organisms, organelles and cell systems, as well as comprehensive coverage of microscopy and other analytical approaches.
