Abstract
⺠Changes in autoantibody profiles and IgG-antibody deposits in the retina occur in glaucoma. ⺠Elicited autoimmunity causes glaucomatous-like damage in an animal model. ⺠Antibodies of glaucoma patients influence proteins in retinal ganglion cells. ⺠Autoantibodies have a neuroprotective potential. ⺠Autoantibody patterns could be useful biomarkers for glaucoma diagnosis.
