Characterization of adhesion receptors on cultured microvascular endothelial cells derived from the retroorbital connective tissue of patients with Grave's ophthalmopathy.

Abstract excerpt

T lymphocytes have been demonstrated recently to play an important role in the pathogenesis and propagation of Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO). Recruitment of T cells to the retroorbital tissue in GO involves the activation of certain adhesion molecules both in the vascular endothelium and in the extravascular connective tissue within the retroorbital space. To characterize the interactions between orbital...
