Accumulation of Th-2-like helper T cells in the conjunctiva of patients with vernal conjunctivitis.
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
The accumulation in the conjunctiva of patients with vernal conjunctivitis of CD4+ T cells that, apart from the production of IL-2, resembles murine Th2 cells for their profile of cytokine production and helper function suggests a possible role for these cells in the pathogenesis of the disease.
