Veränderte Reifung und Funktion von peritonealen Makrophagen: Mögliche Bedeutung in der Pathogenese der Endometriose
·doi:10.1159/000270620
article 1988
Normal human peritoneal macrophages are unable to cap and internalize class II antigens
Cellular immunology ·doi:10.1016/0008-8749(88)90165-7

Normal human peritoneal macrophages show a restricted capacity to differentiate into inflammatory macrophages in vivo. We now report that these cells are unable to cap and internalize HLA-DR, as compared to endometriosis, and other macropha…

article 1987
Altered maturation and function of peritoneal macrophages: Possible role in pathogenesis of endometriosis
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology ·doi:10.1016/0002-9378(87)90333-4

Human peritoneal macrophages from healthy women and patients with endometriosis were analyzed with flow cytometry for size distribution, cell membrane antigen expression, and membrane function. Endometriosis was associated with a significan…

article 1984
Accentuated cyclic activation of peritoneal macrophages in patients with endometriosis
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology ·doi:10.1016/s0002-9378(84)80037-x

Peritoneal fluid was collected from 107 women undergoing laparoscopic sterilization or diagnostic laparoscopy for evaluation of infertility. Cells consisting mainly of macrophages were separated and subjected to sophisticated flow fluorocyt…

article 1983
Heterogeneity of human peritoneal macrophages: cytochemical and flow cytometric studies.

Human peritoneal macrophages obtained from females undergoing laparoscopic examination have been investigated. Morphologic heterogeneity as well as a wide variation in the content of nonspecific esterase, acid phosphatase (AP), and myeloper…

article 1983
Increased activation of pelvic macrophages in infertile women with mild endometriosis
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology ·doi:10.1016/0002-9378(83)90720-2

Pelvic fluid was collected from 66 women undergoing laparoscopic sterilization or diagnostic laparoscopy for evaluation of infertility. Cells consisting mainly of macrophages were separated, counted, and subjected to histochemical staining …

article 1982
Pelvic Macrophages in Normal and Infertile Women
·doi:10.1097/00006254-198210000-00016

A recent report states that the number of macrophages in peritoneal fluid is higher in infertile women, with or without endometriosis, than it is in fertile women. Activated macrophages are postulated to affect fertility by phagocytosis or …

Pelvic macrophages in normal and infertile women: The role of patent tubes
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology ·doi:10.1016/s0002-9378(16)32537-6

The volume of peritoneal fluid and its macrophage content were examined in 80 women undergoing laparoscopy. The amount of pelvic fluid was not dependent on the patency of the fallopian tubes, and no statistical difference in the fluid volum…
