Abstract
T lymphocyte subsets from inflammatory aqueous humor (n = 34) have shown one of three different patterns: group 1 = lower CD4+/CD8+ ratio in aqueous as compared to peripheral blood (0.43 ± 0.25 vs. 1.96 ± 0.82; n = 9); group 2 = similar CD4+/CD8+ ratio in aqueous and peripheral blood (1.76 ± 0.60 vs. 1.60 ± 0.62; n = 22); and group 3 = higher CD4+/CD8+ ratio in aqueous as compared to peripheral blood (7.53 ± 0.47 vs. 2.13 ± 0.55; n = 3). DR+ T lymphocytes were significantly higher, and natural killer cells significantly lower, in inflammatory aqueous as compared to peripheral blood.Keywords
