Cyclosporin A: alterations of the cellular immune response in S-antigen-induced experimental autoimmune uveitis

Abstract

We have previously shown that Cyclosporin A (CsA) is effective in preventing S-antigen (S-Ag)-induced experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU). Lewis rats, which readily develop EAU, were studied for the alterations in cell-mediated immune functions associated with CsA therapy. Lymph nodes draining the site of S-Ag immunization were significantly smaller in the CsA-treated animals when compared to the nonprotected group (p less than 0.01), and also showed profound histologic alterations when compared to controls. In vitro responses of lymphocytes from lymph node and peripheral blood were greatly diminished in the CsA-treated animals. Sera from rats treated with CsA also were capable of inhibiting in vitro proliferative responses. These findings demonstrate that CsA-treated Lewis rats have alterations in several cell-mediated immune functions, thereby not permitting full development of the immune events that ultimately lead to uveitis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
