PURPOSE Autologous peripheral blood lymphocytes, activated in a mixed cell reaction when cocultured with purified rabbit lacrimal epithelial cells, are known to induce a severe autoimmune dacryoadenitis when injected directly into the donor animal's

PURPOSE To test whether CD4+ T cells proliferate in mixed cell reactions with autologous lacrimal gland (LG) acinar cells and whether these cells can autoadoptively transfer disease. METHODS Purified acinar cells were gamma irradiated and cocultured

Lacrimal epithelial cells appear to constitutively secrete autoantigens to their underling stroma. The present experiments address the hypothesis that they also secrete soluble factors that regulate immune responses. Epithelial cells, spleen cells an

To use a rabbit model of induced autoimmune dacryoadenitis to evaluate the efficacy of topical ophthalmic cyclosporine A (CsA).Autoimmune dacryoadenitis was induced by injecting autologous peripheral blood lymphocytes, which had been activated in a m

We compared the in vitro growth of common intraocular pathogens Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in rabbit vitreous and in sodium hyaluronate (SH) with and without gentamicin. The minimal inhibitory concent

Autologous peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL), activated in a mixed cell reaction when co-cultured with purified rabbit lacrimal epithelial cells, are known to induce a Sjőgren’s-like autoimmune dacryoadenitis and keratoconjunctivitis when injecte

The rabbit lacrimal gland undergoes an immunophysiological transformation during pregnancy, reminiscent of that of the mammary gland as it prepares to deliver secretory IgA into the nascent fluid product. The contents of TGF-beta and prolactin (PRL)

Dry eye is a general term that refers to a myriad of ophthalmic disorders resulting in the inadequate wetting of the corneal surface by the tear film. Dry eyes are typically treated by the application of artificial tears. However, patients with lacri

This paper articulates a new working hypothesis that explains many of the pathophysiological conditions described under the common rubric "dry eye" as altered states of mucosal immune regulation. A central principle of mucosal immune physiology is th

Conjunctival epithelial cells of pigmented rabbits secrete reduced glutathione (GSH) into the apical (mucosal) fluid. The aim of the current study was to determine the effect of oxidative stress resulting from viral infection and that of GSH suppleme
