Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To determine the finer specificity and immunologic features of autoreactive T cells in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease. METHODS: T-cell clones (TCCs ) specific to tyrosinase family proteins were raised from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with VKH disease, and the response of the TCCs to 30-mer peptides was determined. The TCCs that were reactive to the peptides with strong...
