Immune response evoked by antigen injection in the rabbit vitreous combined with immunopotentiation. 1981

C J Brinkman, and H J Winkens, and R M Broekhuyse

Intravitreal injection of rabbits with antigen evokes a cell-mediated and a humoral immune response as detected by lymphocyte stimulation, skin testing, and hemagglutination tests. The results of the lymphocyte stimulation test largely correlate with the clinical evaluation of the inflammation process. Rabbits which have been sensitized by Freund's complete adjuvant at the moment of intravitreal antigen injection demonstrate a biphasic cell-mediated immune activity to this antigen. Intradermal or intraocular antigenic challenges of the rabbits 5 weeks following the intravitreal injection evoke responses with the characteristics of an Arthus reaction. At that moment, antigen-sensitized lymphocytes are found in the draining preauricular lymph nodes but not in the contralateral lymph nodes, suggesting separate functioning of these lymph tissues.

D007111 Immunity, Cellular Manifestations of the immune response which are mediated by antigen-sensitized T-lymphocytes via lymphokines or direct cytotoxicity. This takes place in the absence of circulating antibody or where antibody plays a subordinate role.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D003315 Cornea The transparent anterior portion of the fibrous coat of the eye consisting of five layers: stratified squamous CORNEAL EPITHELIUM; BOWMAN MEMBRANE; CORNEAL STROMA; DESCEMET MEMBRANE; and mesenchymal CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM. It serves as the first refracting medium of the eye. It is structurally continuous with the SCLERA, avascular, receiving its nourishment by permeation through spaces between the lamellae, and is innervated by the ophthalmic division of the TRIGEMINAL NERVE via the ciliary nerves and those of the surrounding conjunctiva which together form plexuses.

D005620 Freund's Adjuvant An antigen solution emulsified in mineral oil. The complete form is made up of killed, dried mycobacteria, usually M. tuberculosis, suspended in the oil phase. It is effective in stimulating cell-mediated immunity (IMMUNITY, CELLULAR) and potentiates the production of certain IMMUNOGLOBULINS in some animals. The incomplete form does not contain mycobacteria. Freund Adjuvant,Adjuvant, Freund,Adjuvant, Freund's,Freunds Adjuvant
