Decreased human leukocyte antigen–DR expression in the lipid raft by peritoneal macrophages from women with endometriosis
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2007.02.027

ObjectiveTo investigate the macrophage response in endometriosis by determining the expression and localization of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-ABC and HLA-DR by the peritoneal fluid (PF) macrophages and PF concentrations of interferon (IF…

article 2006
Killer Immunoglobulin‐like Receptor and Human Leukocyte Antigen Expression as Immunodiagnostic Parameters for Pelvic Endometriosis
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/j.1600-0897.2005.00332.x

PROBLEM: We investigated host immunologic responses to endometriosis by comparing immune cell surface antigens in peripheral blood (PB) and peritoneal fluid (PF) from women with endometriosis with those in PB and PF from other patients. MET…

Expression of inhibitory-motif killer immunoglobulin-like receptor, KIR2DL1, is increased in natural killer cells from women with pelvic endometriosis
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/j.1600-0897.2005.00271.x

PROBLEM: We investigated inhibitory and activation motif expression of killer immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) by natural killer (NK) cells, which may be pathogenetically involved in endometriosis. METHOD OF STUDY: We compared cells from…

Killer Inhibitory Receptor CD158a Overexpression Among Natural Killer Cells in Women With Endometriosis is Undiminished by Laparoscopic Surgery and Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone Agonist Treatment*
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/j.1600-0897.2004.00170.x

PROBLEM: Natural killer (NK) dysfunction is considered to contribute to the pathogenesis of endometriosis. In this study, we investigated the host immune response to endometriosis in terms of killer inhibitory receptor (KIR) expression by N…

article 2003
Coordinated but depressed expression of human leukocyte antigen-DR, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, and CD14 on peritoneal macrophages in women with pelvic endometriosis
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(03)00780-5

ObjectiveTo investigate the macrophage response in endometriosis, we determined the expression of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR, intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1, and CD14 on peritoneal macrophages.DesignCase-control study of imm…
