    Abstract:
    Complexes of endogenous immunopeptides produced by autologous peripheral blood lymphocytes were injected to the vitreous body of 17 chinchilla rabbits (34 eyes). The agents injected were autosupernatant. L fraction containing molecular substances with mol. weight of 40,000 to 60,000 D, and M fraction containing substances with mol. weight of 15,000 to 30,000 D. Clinical and morphologic studies demonstrated that injection of endogenous immunopeptides led to active lymphoid inflammatory infiltration associated with proliferation and formation of new vessels. In contrast to the M fraction, the exudative processes triggered by the L fraction were more definitely localized and associated with the appearance of fibroplastic cords (the proliferative component). The models created may be used for the development of methods for prevention and treatment of vitreoretinal proliferation.
