Interaction between intestinal dendritic cells and bacteria translocated from the gut in rats with cirrhosis
21 May 2012
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Cirrhosis with ascites is associated with a high rate of gut bacterial translocation (GBT) and spontaneous bacterial infections of enteric origin. We addressed the activation state and role of intestinal dendritic cells (DCs) in experimental ascitic cirrhosis and their relationship with GBT. Cirrhosis with ascites was CCl(4) induced in rats. To examine their activation state and functions, DCs...
