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

OBJECTIVE: To 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 (…

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. ME…

Human leukocyte antigen expression by peritoneal macrophages from women with pelvic endometriosis is depressed but coordinated with costimulatory molecule expression

Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2004.11.039

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the macrophage response in endometriosis, we determined expression of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-ABC, HLA-DR, and their costimulatory molecules by peritoneal fluid (PF) macrophages. DESIGN: Case-control study o…

Aberrant expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and killer inhibitory receptors induces immune tolerance in women with pelvic endometriosis

Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(01)03249-6

OBJECTIVE: To investigate host immunologic response to endometriosis in terms of intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 expression by macrophages and killer cell inhibitory receptor (KIR) expression by natural killer (NK) cells. DESIGN: …
