Selective interactions of lymphocytes with neonatal and adult lacrimal gland tissues.

abstract：PURPOSE:Many retinal imaging instruments use infrared wavelengths to reduce the risk of light damage. However, we have discovered that exposure to infrared illumination causes a long-lasting reduction in infrared autofluorescence (IRAF). We have characterized the dependence of this effect on radiant exposure and invest...
