Dominant Infiltration of TH 1-type CD4 <sup>+</sup> T Cells at the Retrobulbar Space of Patients with Thyroid-Associated Ophthalmopathy
1 Mar 1999
Abstract excerpt
Lymphocyte infiltration in the retrobulbar space is a prominent histological feature of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO). We have characterized phenotypic and functional features of T cells derived from retrobulbar infiltrates of 3 TAO patients to better understand their roles in the disease. One hundred four T-cell clones (TCC) were directly established from cells of retrobulbar tissues using a highly...
