Capacity of ocular infiltrating T helper type 1 cells of patients with non‐infectious uveitis to produce chemokines

摘要

Background/aimsChemokines are key molecules that initiate leucocyte infiltration to the inflammatory site. The involvement of chemokines in uveitis is well studied, yet the source of this molecule in the inflamed eye is not clearly identified. The possible sources of chemokines are ocular resident cells or the inflammatory cells infiltrated to the eye. Here the authors examined whether ocular infiltrating T cells of uveitis patients do produce chemokines.
