The effects of various stimuli on the cellular composition of peritoneal exudates in the mouse.
A comparative study on the composition of cell populations collected from the unstimulated mouse peritoneal cavity and at various intervals after the intraperitoneal injection of glycerol trioleate, casein, paraffin oil, glycogen, sodium chloride, and proteose peptone, was carried out. The cellular composition of the peritoneal exudates, especially with respect to the ratio of monocytes to resident macrophages, was shown to be dependent on the nature of the stimulus and interval after stimulation.
