Abstract
Catalase treatment reduces the expected inflammation in experimental phacoanaphylactic endophthalmitis. Catalase is a scavenger of hydrogen peroxide and presumably protects against the cytolytic effects of reactive oxygen metabolites. Recent work indicates that oxygen-derived free radicals may play a critical role in the early tissue damage in immune complex disease.Keywords
