Abstract excerpt
The immunocompetent cells from peritoneal effluent in 22 stable CAPD patients were studied for surface phenotype distribution and for phagocytic properties by flow cytometry. The following monoclonal antibody couples were employed with direct dual color immunofluorescence: HLA-DR/CD 4, CD 8/CD 11c, Leu 7/CD 16, CD 14/CD 13, and Anti-Leucocyte/CD33. The phagocytic properties of peritoneal macrophages and...
