title: An in vitro investigation of the role of surfactant in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
abstract: MDCK cells were grown on collagen membranes with and without surfactant. The effects of the surfactants were observed by phase-contrast microscopy and were measured as the degree of reduction in transmonolayer resistance. Surfactant is more than a lubricant in the peritoneum, which is its main function, in that it interacts with cells in ways which vary with surfactant type and amount.
