Aqueous immune complexes in immunogenic uveitis. 1982

E L Howes, and D H Char, and M Christensen

A primary immunogenic uveitis was produced in rabbits by the intravitreal injection of bovine plasma albumin or ovalbumin. A secondary or recurrent uveitis was induced by intravenous injection of the specific soluble antigen several months after the cessation of primary inflammation. Aqueous antigen-antibody complexes were studied at times of maximal clinical response in both primary and recurrent forms during resolution of primary immunogenic uveitis, and in a nonspecific protein extravasation induced by aqueous paracentesis. Immune complexes could be demonstrated only during times of clinically evident inflammation in immunogenic uveitis. The results indicate the importance of antigen-antibody complex formation in the pathogenesis of this form of experimental ocular inflammatory disease.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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. Cell-Mediated Immunity,Cellular Immune Response,Cell Mediated Immunity,Cell-Mediated Immunities,Cellular Immune Responses,Cellular Immunities,Cellular Immunity,Immune Response, Cellular,Immune Responses, Cellular,Immunities, Cell-Mediated,Immunities, Cellular,Immunity, Cell-Mediated,Response, Cellular Immune

It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
