Abstract
Endometriosis is associated with changes in both cell-mediated and humoral immunity. Although the peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis contains increased numbers of immune cells, their function appears to be altered from an inhibitory to a facilitatory role. Leukocytes that would normally clear endometrial cells from the peritoneal cavity instead appear to allow their proliferation via an assortment of growth factors and cytokines.
