Review of Ocular Immune Privilege in the Year 2010: Modifying the Immune Privilege of the Eye

Hori, Junko, Vega, Jose L., Masli, Sharmila·2010·Ocular Immunology and Inflammation

Abstract

The original evidence for the existence of immunologically privileged sites in the body was based on the prolonged survival of genetically disparate transplanted tissue in the anterior chamber of the eye. The failure of the immune system to elicit an immune response in this and other such sites constitutes the hallmark of the immune privilege status. The remarkably successful field of corneal transplantation in clinical practice is undoubtedly associated with corneal immune privilege. Several investigations have addressed the regulatory mechanisms governing this phenomenon, which involves a complex interplay between multiple molecular and cellular pathways. Furthermore, the use of various transgenic mouse models has facilitated the identification of critical pathways, which upon disruption can modify the immune privileged status of the eye. Understanding these pathways not only reveals the mechanisms underlying various ocular inflammatory disease conditions, but also has clinical implications for the transplantation field and for the treatment of autoimmunity.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The blood-retina barrier acts as a physical and immune bulwark, blocking entry of circulating immune cells inside the retina and preventing antigens from escaping the retina.

    “The blood-retina barrier, which is partly composed by tight junctions (depicted in yellow) between RPE cells, acts as a physical and immune bulwark.It blocks the entry of circulating immune cells inside the retina and prevents antigens from escaping the retina [14][15][16].”

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.
