OBJECTIVES: Immunologic mechanisms are implicated in the pathogenesis of endometriosis and endometriosis-associated reproductive failure. The purpose of this study was to describe key immune response elements in eutopic and ectopic endometr…

BACKGROUND: Serum CA-125 during the mid-follicular phase has been reported to be a clinically useful and reproducible marker in the diagnosis of advanced endometriosis in women. This study was undertaken to document the effect of the menstr…

Nonparametric linkage analysis is widely used to map susceptibility genes for complex diseases. This paper introduces six nonparametric statistics for measuring marker allele sharing among the affected members of a pedigree. We compare the …

In a preliminary study the hypothesis was tested that cytokine profiles in peripheral blood were higher in women with deep infiltrating endometriosis and cytokine profiles in peritoneal fluid were higher in women with superficial endometrio…

OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to test the hypothesis that menstruation and intrapelvic injection of endometrium for the induction of endometriosis affect inflammatory parameters in peritoneal fluid from baboons. STUDY DESIGN: In the first par…

Endometriosis is a complex and intriguing disease. If retrograde menstruation normally occurs, then why do all women not develop endometriosis? The exact prevalence of endometriosis is unknown; however, a 20% to 90% prevalency rate has been…

In women with endometriosis, changes in peripheral blood and peritoneal fluid white blood cell (WBC) populations have been reported, but it is known whether these alterations are casually related to or a consequence of endometriosis. The pu…

This study was performed to test the hypothesis that anti-endometrial, lymphocyte-mediated cytotoxicity and natural killer (NK) activity are reduced in baboons with endometriosis when compared to animals with a normal pelvis. Lymphocyte-med…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effects of hysterosalpingography (HSG) contrast media (CM) and chromotubation dye on peritoneal lymphocyte proliferation and macrophage phagocytosis in vitro. DESIGN: Peritoneal fluid (PF) lymphocytes and macrop…

Prostaglandin H synthase, also known as cyclooxygenase, is an essential enzyme in prostaglandin synthesis. Using a monoclonal antibody and immunohistochemical techniques, we studied the localization of this enzyme in the female reproductive…

Peritoneal fluid from women with endometriosis, unexplained infertility, and fertile controls were compared to one another and to normal human serum for effects on lymphocyte proliferation in vitro. Peritoneal fluid samples were also assaye…

Monoclonal antibodies identifying leukocytes subpopulations were applied to smears of laparoscopically collected peritoneal fluid leukocytes and parallel samples of peripheral blood leukocytes from women with endometriosis (n = 33), those w…

The effects of danazol on leukocyte activation in vitro were compared with those of other known immunosuppressive steroids. Danazol at a concentration of 10(-6) M, the systemic level in women taking 600 mg/day, significantly inhibited lymph…
