Innate immunity of the ocular surface and ocular surface inflammatory disorders.

Cornea - 1 Sept 2008

Ueta Mayumi

Abstract excerpt

Ocular surface epithelial cells selectively respond to microbial components and induce limited inflammation, whereas immune competent cells such as macrophages can recognize various microbial components through Toll-like receptors (TLRs), induce inflammation, and, thereby, exclude microbes. The difference between macrophages and ocular surface epithelial cells could be due to their dissimilarity in coexistence...
