Data detailed in 'Receptor-interacting protein 2 is a marker for resolution of peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis' have been presented. According to a study from London, Canada, "There are no predictive factors for peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis; however, its resolution correlates with a cell-mediated Th1 immune response. We tested the hypothesis that induction of receptor-interacting protein 2 (RIP2), an assumed kinase linked with Th1 responses, is a useful marker in this clinical setting."
"Basal RIP2 expression was measured in human immune cells and during dialysis-associated peritonitis. RIP2 increased with bacterial toxin cell activation and the...
