  • Title: [An immunohistochemical study of Langerhan's cells (LC), T-cells and the HLA antigen in human cornea].
    Author: Li Q, He YL.
    Journal: Zhonghua Yan Ke Za Zhi; 1992 May; 28(3):147-9. PubMed ID: 1286600.
    Abstract:
    The distribution of Langerhan's cells (LC), T-cell subsets, and HLA system in 12 normal and 7 morbid corneas, including 4 of suppurative corneal ulcer and 3 of uveogenic endophthalmitis, were investigated with monoclonal antibodies. The results revealed that a small amount of LC and T-cell subsets were present in the limbal region of normal corneas, while large numbers of LC and OKT4+ were observed in the corneas of suppurative ulcer. HLA-ABC antigens were expressed on the epithelial cells and keratocytes of the normal corneas, while the HLA-DR antigens were expressed on the surface of LC at the limbus.
