Abstract excerpt
Although several observations show local T cell recognition of retinal Ag, there has been no direct demonstration that the APC were retinal derived, rather than recruited. In this study, CD45(+) cells isolated from immunologically quiescent murine retina were tested in vitro for functional evidence of Ag presentation to naive and Ag-experienced CD4 T cells specific for beta-galactosidase. Because CD45(+) cells...
