H460 and HCC193 cell lines are cultured in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. Cell viability is measured using the CellTiter 96 Aqueous Non-Radioactive Cell Proliferation Assay kit. 5000 cells/well are seeded into 96-well plates in triplicate. Following adhesion of cells to the wells, increasing concentrations of BV6 are added into different wells. Control groups are exposed to the same concentration of DMSO. The final concentrations of 333 μg/mL MTS and 25 μM PMS are added to each well 24 hours later. After two hours incubation at 37°C in humidified 5% CO₂, plates are read at the absorbance of 490 nm on a microplate reader. Relative cell viability of an individual sample is calculated by normalizing their absorbance to that of the corresponding control. IC₅₀ values are calculated using Prism 5.01. For the TNFα neutralizing antibody assay, cells are exposed to 1 and 5 μM BV6 with or without 10 μg/mL Infliximab and the assay is performed 24 hours later. Plates are read at the absorbance of 490 nm on a microplate reader^[1].

Mice^[2]
Female mice (6 weeks of age, BALB/c) are used. All 24 mice are ovariectomized through a 1 cm longitudinal skin incision then injected s.c. with estradiol valerate (0.5 µg/mouse/week) once per week for 6 weeks until the experimental endometriosis induction. Two weeks after ovariectomy, the uteri of an additional eight donor mice (n=8) are removed en bloc after euthanasia and cleaned of excess tissue in sterile saline. Each uterus is cut to include the uterine horns in each half with a linear incision longitudinally and minced (0.5 mm in diameter) with dissecting scissors. The ovariectomized recipient mice (n=16) are anesthetized using pentobarbital sodium. A 0.5 cm subabdominal midline incision is made. Each recipient receives half of the donor uterus (1:2 donor uterus to host ratio) minced and added to 500 µl saline, and injected into the peritoneal cavity, and the peritoneum is sutured. Injected uterine tissue weighed ~50 mg per mouse. For the next 4 weeks, recipient mice are treated with a single i.p. injection of BV6 (n=8; 10 mg/kg) or vehicle (n=8; 1% DMSO) twice weekly.
