ABSTRACT

Es claro el efecto que la endometriosis en etapas avanzadas tiene sobre la fertilidad, por las alteraciones adherenciales sobre trompas y ovarios; pero es más importante comprender los mecanismos fisiopatológicos por las cuales se presenta la infertilidad en la endometriosis mínima y leve. Aunque se desconoce la causa específica de la endometriosis, los componentes del sistema inmunitario pueden estar afectados y jugar un papel central en la fisiopatogenia de la enfermedad, al alterar el microambiente peritoneal. Por un lado, el aumento de subpoblaciones de leucocitos y su actividad en líquido peritoneal reflejan efectos citotóxicos contra espermatozoides, oocito, interación de gametos y desarrollo embrionario temprano. Por otro lado, la secreción de citocinas y factores de crecimiento que favorecen o estimulan el crecimiento de focos endometrióticos en un ambiente de ®tolerancia inmunológica¼. Se revisan los aspectos inmunológicos de la endometriosis, incluyendo las vías paracrina o autocrina de comunicación entercelular

ABSTRACT

We adapted one of the in-vitro immunization methods to induce antibody responses and confirmed the success of the immunization by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) without hybridization. We have previously reported several methods of in-vitro immunization using different conditioned media. Here we introduce another method of in-vitro immunization using a mixture of three types of supernatant (thymocytes, and adherent and non-adherent splenocytes of mouse). Splenocytes were immunized in-vitro by a recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) with the above conditioned media, and the results by ELISA showed a much higher optical density than the other in-vitro immunization methods that we had previously reported. Humoral responses as a result of in-vitro immunization to soluble antigens were easily confirmed by ELISA using the above-conditioned media. This finding indicates that any other conditions thought to be critical by other researches may not be essential for in-vitro immunization.
