Abstract
Peritoneal cells form a heterogeneous cell population. In the rat about 70% of them are macrophages, 20% consist of granulocytes and mast cells, and the rest comprise dendritic cells and lymphocytes.1 In microbial infections and after antigen administration, quantitative and qualitative changes occur within these peritoneal cell populations. Peritoneal macrophages efficiently handle antigen locally and transport it via the lymphatics to lymphoid tissues. There are at least two different routes for transport of antigen by peritoneal cells: first, via the lymphatics to the draining lymph nodes12, and second, across the diaphragm directly to the lung interstitium.10
