title: Method for the transportation of peritoneal macrophages.
abstract: This report outlines a method of PF transport that preserves the viability and activation level of peritoneal macrophages. Collection of macrophages in this manner will allow transport of PF from multiple centers for evaluation of macrophage function in a single laboratory. Such technology will make it possible to intensively study the relationship between peritoneal macrophages and infertility.
