The lectin ArtinM induces recruitment of rat mast cells from the bone marrow to the peritoneal cavity. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: The D-mannose binding lectin ArtinM is known to recruit neutrophils, to degranulate mast cells and may have potential therapeutic applications. However, the effect of ArtinM on mast cell recruitment has not been investigated.

Intraperitoneal administration of a modified vaccinia virus Ankara confers single-chain interleukin-12 expression to the omentum and achieves immune-mediated efficacy against peritoneal carcinomatosis

Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, 2023
Background Peritoneal carcinomatosis is an advanced stage of cancer in which the disease has spread to the peritoneal cavity. In order to restore antitumor immunity subverted by tumor cells in this location, we evaluated intraperitoneal administrations ...

Peritoneal cavity is dominated by IFNγ-secreting CXCR3+ Th1 cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
The chemokine receptor CXCR3, which was shown to take part in many inflammatory processes, is considered as a Th1 specific marker. Here, we show in a mouse model that CXCR3 expressing CD4(+) cells preferentially migrate to the peritoneal cavity under ...

Mouse Tissue‐Resident Peritoneal Macrophages in Homeostasis, Repair, Infection, and Tumor Metastasis

Advanced Science, 2023
Large peritoneal macrophages (LPMs) are long‐lived, tissue‐resident macrophages, formed during embryonic life, developmentally and functionally confined to the peritoneal cavity. LPMs provide the first line of defense against life‐threatening pathologies

Tuberculosis of the peritoneal cavity

Journal of British Surgery, 1978
Abstract The clinical presentation and management of 30 consecutive patients with tuberculous pertonitis are reviewed. Seventy per cent of the patients were aged 40 years or less and 80 per cent were immigrants. The main clinical features of abdominal pain, loss of weight, vomiting and sweating at night had been present in a large number

Mast cell repopulation of the peritoneal cavity: contribution of mast cell progenitors versus bone marrow derived committed mast cell precursors

BMC Immunology, 2010
Background Mast cells have recently gained new importance as immunoregulatory cells that are involved in numerous pathological processes. One result of these processes is an increase in mast cell numbers at peripheral sites.

The Basic Study of Liposome in Temperature-Sensitive Gel at Body Temperature for Treatment of Peritoneal Dissemination

Gels, 2022
Peritoneal dissemination is a disease that is difficult to treat surgically because it is widely scattered and proliferates in the abdominal cavity. It is a challenge that even if the drug is administered directly into the abdominal cavity, it rapidly ...

Isolation of Mononuclear Cell Populations from Ovarian Carcinoma Ascites

Bio-Protocol, 2017
Ovarian cancer is one of the most fatal tumors in women. Due to a lack of symptoms and adequate screening methods, patients are diagnosed at advanced stages with extensive tumor burden (Jelovac and Armstrong, 2011).
