  • Title: [Levels of selected cytokines in aqueous humor of patients with cataract extraction].
    Author: Bakunowicz-Lazarczyk A, Moniuszko T, Sredzińska-Kita D, Chwiećko J.
    Journal: Klin Oczna; 1997; 99(4):235-7. PubMed ID: 9577113.
    Abstract:
    AIM: The purpose of the investigation was to evaluate the presence of IL-1 beta, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma in aqueous humor of patients with cataract. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Aqueous humor was taken from 29 patients during extracapsular cataract extraction. The presence of cytokines was evaluated using immunoenzymatic methods. RESULTS: IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma were found in all aqueous humor samples. There was no evidence for the presence of IL-1 beta. CONCLUSION: Cytokines may play role in the inflammation process after extracapsular cataract extraction.
