Abstract
CCR4, classically related to the Th2 system, and HLA-DR both were overexpressed by the conjunctival epithelium in uveitis patients, whereas CCR5, related to the Th1 system, was expressed weakly in uveitis patients. These preliminary results seem to suggest an involvement of the Th2 system on the ocular surface in uveitis. Exploration of the ocular surface in uveitis may represent a new way to understand better the immune pathways involved in this complex disease.
