Is it worth mentioning that, in the past, one of the methods of propagating tissue culture cells was to propagate them in the peritoneum of syngeneic mice, and that this caused ascites formation? They even used to generate antibodies by injecting mice with monoclonal B-cells.... user:Fhayashi
- I'm not sure... it sounds like a footnote in the annals of science, IMHO. JFW | T@lk 20:43, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] BSG guidelines
Prof Moore and Dr Aithal have written a guideline for the management of cirrhotic ascites. May be worth using for the paragraphs on management[1]. JFW | T@lk 15:28, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- It's a very comprehensive guideline. I'll see if I can work it into this article. JFW | T@lk 22:53, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] B-cells
It's correct, even B-cells could be cultured in this ascitic areas to accomplish monoclonal antibody production. Ascites also exist in human cancers, like pancreatic cancer.
