Inhibition of EAU by anterior chamber injection with antigen / 中国免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the effect of injection bovine retinal soluble antigen (S-Ag)into anterior chamber(AC)in inducing immunological tolerance.Methods:S-Ag was extracted from fresh bovine retina and inoculated into the AC of Wistar rats,One week later,the S-Ag mixed with complete fruend's adjuvant(CFA)was injected into footpad intradermaly.The clinical symptoms and the pathological changes were observed.The IL-4 and IFN-? concentrations in the supernatant of splenic cell culture were measured by ELISA.Results:The incidence of EAU in pretreated group(group A) was markedly higher than that of positive controls(gropu B).There were histopathological changes in all rats with clinical symptoms.The IL-4 level of splenic cell culture in group A were significantly higher than those in group B ( P
