چکیده

The relationship between the anterior chamber (AC) of the eye and the immune system was studied after intracameral inoculation with the hapten TNP. Injection of syngeneic TNP-modified splenocytes (TNP-Sp) into the AC of Balb/c mice results in suppressed systemic cell-mediated immunity to TNP as determined by the ear swelling assay. This aberrant immune responsiveness following AC injection of TNP-Sp has been termed TNP anterior chamber-associated immune deviation or TNP-ACAID. The phenomenon of TNP-ACAID is mediated by antigen-specific efferent suppressor T cells (Ts). The generation of Ts in TNP-ACAID requires a period of interaction between the intact eye and spleen, ie, the splenocameral axis.

Increased expression of Foxp3 in splenic CD8+ T cells from mice with anterior chamber-associated immune deviation

PURPOSE To examine the expression of Foxp3 on CD8+ T cells in the spleen during anterior chamber-associated immune deviation (ACAID). METHODS Ovalbumin (OVA) was injected into the anterior chamber (AC) of C57BL/6 mice, and the delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) response was measured to evaluate the development of ACAID. The suppressive effect of CD8+ T cells in ACAID mice was determined by a...

The immune response and the eye: the ACAID inducing signal is dependent on the nature of the antigen.

PURPOSE To examine conditions that determine the nature of the blood-borne, ACAID-inducing signal produced after intracameral injection of antigen. METHODS Balb/c mice were splenectomized, rested, and injected in the anterior chamber with various antigens. Two days later the animals were bled, the plasma and white cells were isolated, and these fractions were transferred to naive mice (with s...

Cd1-Reactive Natural Killer T Cells Are Required for Development of Systemic Tolerance through an Immune-Privileged Site

Systemic tolerance can be elicited by introducing antigen into an immune-privileged site, such as the eye, or directly into the blood. Both routes of immunization result in a selective deficiency of systemic delayed type hypersensitivity. Although the experimental animal model of anterior chamber-associated immune deviation (ACAID) occurs in most mouse strains, ACAID cannot be induced in severa...

Intracameral injection of antigen potentiates the production of antigen-specific T cell proteins in serum after the induction of delayed-type hypersensitivity.

PURPOSE To determine whether the introduction of antigen into the anterior chamber induces the production of extracellular antigen-specific T cell proteins (T cell antigen-binding molecules [TABM] specific for the antigen. METHODS Balb/c mice received an intracameral or subconjunctival injection of trinitrophenylated spleen cells (TNP spleen cells) before skin sensitization and challenge with...

Gammadelta T cells promote anterior chamber-associated immune deviation and immune privilege through their production of IL-10.

Anterior chamber-associated immune deviation (ACAID) is a form of peripheral tolerance that is induced by introducing Ags into the anterior chamber (AC) of the eye, and is maintained by Ag-specific regulatory T cells (Tregs). ACAID regulates harmful immune responses that can lead to irreparable injury to innocent bystander cells that are incapable of regeneration. This form of immune privilege ...
