Expression of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase in human corneal cells as a local immunosuppressive factor.

abstract：PURPOSE:Oxidative stress seems to be an important factor in the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The role of DNA repair mechanisms has also received attention recently in AMD pathogenesis. This case-control study was conducted to determine the frequency of polymorphisms in two DNA repair enzyme ge...
