Differential expression of vitreous proteins in proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

abstract：:Uveitis can be induced by systemic or intravitreal administration of endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS). In this study we correlated the expression of class II antigens (la in rat) of the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC), with this experimental model of uveitis. Ia antigen was detected by immunohistochemistry u...
