  • Endometriosis mouse model
    Patent number: 6429353
    Abstract: The invention provides an endometriosis mouse model wherein severely compromised immune deficient (SCID) female mice are transplanted with human xenografts of normal endometrial tissue, but result in mice with human endometriosis. Typically, the xenografts are treated with a micronized estrogen source prior to transplantation or implantation and the endogenous progesterone of the mice is eliminated also prior to transplantation of the human xenograft. These diseased mice are useful in the study of endometriosis.
