Flow cytometry analysis of lymphocyte subpopulations in peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis
PROBLEM: We investigated the lymphocyte subpopulations in peripheral blood (PB) and peritoneal fluid (PF) of women with and without endometriosis to evaluate if the decreased natural killer (NK)-mediated cytotoxicity in women with endometri…

The natural killer activity of peritoneal fluid lymphocytes is decreased in women with endometriosis
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the local natural killer (NK) activity of the peritoneal fluid mononuclear cells (PFMC). DESIGN PATIENTS: In a prospective way, the NK activity (K562-assay) was measured in peripheral blood (PB) and peritoneal flui…
