Abstract
The kinetic changes of T-lymphocyte subtypes in the eyes of Lewis rats which developed experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) were studied. Lymphoid cells were the majority of the ocular inflammatory cells in different stages of the disease. As EAU proceeds, there is an increase in the relative number of OX-8 (suppressor/cytotoxic) T cells, and the decrease of W3/25 (helper/inducer) T cells. These findings were also observed in the animals with EAU and partially treated with corticosteroids or cyclosporine. The kinetics may reflect the role of immunoregulation of the inflammatory response in autoimmune diseases.Entities:
