Acute changes in RPE apical morphology after retinal detachment in rabbit. A SEM study.

abstract：:Alloantigens placed into the anterior chamber of the eye elicit antigen-specific suppression of systemic delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses and severe impairment of skin allograft rejection. This pattern of immunologic alteration has been termed anterior chamber-associated immune deviation (ACAID) and is th...
