In vivo downregulation of innate and adaptive immune responses in corneal allograft rejection by HC-HA/PTX3 complex purified from amniotic membrane.

abstract：:Gamma-interferon (G-IFN) exhibits antiproliferative effects, inhibits collagen synthesis by fibroblasts, and may help to regulate the turnover of fibrous tissue. Fibroblasts from Tenon's capsule are cellular components that contribute to unsuccessful glaucoma filtration surgery. Therefore, the authors studied the effe...
