FACS analysis of peritoneal lymphocytes in ovarian cancer and control patients
RM Reijnhart, MM Bieber, NNH Teng - Immunobiology, 1994 - Elsevier
In this study different lymphocyte populations in the malignant ascites of 10 patients with
ovarian carcinoma and in the peritoneal fluid of 8 control patients (tubal ligation and benign
conditions) were analyzed. A panel of monoclonal antibodies against the CD markers of
lymphocytes was used to stain different populations and the cells were analyzed on a FAGS
II (fluorescence-activated cell sorter). The mean percentage of B lymphocytes in the
peritoneal cavity of the OVCA patients was 0.18±0.5% and in the control patients …
