Evidence for immediate hypersensitivity phenomena in experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis

Abstract

Evidence is presented for the involvement of immediate hypersensitivity phenomena in experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis, an ocular inflammatory disease induced in Lewis rats by injection of the purified S antigen from bovine retina. Several parameters at various dates after immunization have been studied. In vivo degranulation of choroidal mast cells, in vitro degranulation of peritoneal mast cells in the presence of S antigen and cutaneous anaphylaxis were observed as early as 6-8 days after immunization. Serum antibodies were detected by passive hemagglutination from day 7 on. These phenomena preceded the onset of the ocular inflammation, consisting of a transient polymorphonuclear leukocyte infiltration, a long-lasting lymphoid cell infiltration and extensive damage to the retina and surrounding tissues. Such time course of events may suggest a role for reaginic antibody as a trigger for vascular changes in the target ocular tissue, favoring the development of inflammatory lesions.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus. Discover the latest research on atopic dermatitis here.

Anaphylaxis

Anaphylaxis is a serious allergic reaction that is rapid in onset and may cause death.
