Anti-endometrial lymphocytotoxicity and natural killer cell activity in baboons (Papio anubis and Papio cynocephalus) with endometriosis*
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 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 test the hypothesis that immunosuppression increases the development and progression of endometriosis in baboons. DESIGN: Experimental controlled study. SETTING: Institute of Primate Research, Nairobi, Kenya. PARTICIPANTS: …
