Immunopathology of the lens. II. 86Rb efflux and protein leakage from normal lenses exposed to antilens and antiuveoretina antibodies. 1978

F D'Ermo, and A G Secchi, and B Mancini, and T Segato, and I Fregona

Normal rabbit lenses exposed in vitro to heterologous antilens and antiuveoretina antibodies lose control of the intracellular 86Rb and this effect is followed by a late leakage of lenticular proteins; both phenomena take place only in the presence of complement. This antibody-induced complement-dependent membrane damage might be involved in the pathogenesis of complicated cataracts in uveitis and in the self-maintenance of recurrent uveal inflammations.

D012160 Retina The ten-layered nervous tissue membrane of the eye. It is continuous with the OPTIC NERVE and receives images of external objects and transmits visual impulses to the brain. Its outer surface is in contact with the CHOROID and the inner surface with the VITREOUS BODY. The outer-most layer is pigmented, whereas the inner nine layers are transparent. Ora Serrata
