Identification of Novel Dendritic Cell Populations in Normal Mouse Retina

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Whether tissue resident or infiltrating antigen-presenting cells (APCs) are involved in modulating immune responses in the retina and initiating inflammation is controversial. In this histologic study, the authors examine the retinas of mice strains with different susceptibility to experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis (EAU) for tissue resident APC. METHODS: Retinal wholemounts from normal and inflamed...
