Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is associated with T-helper 2 (TH2)-like cell response and increased immunoglobulin (Ig) E production. Recent studies have suggested that interactions between costimulatory molecules B7 on antigen-presenting cells and CD28 on T cells are critical for successful antigen presentation and the development of the TH2 immune response. The objective of this study was to examine...
