Immunological analysis of the aqueous humour in candida endophthalmitis. I: Experimental study

Br J Ophthalmol. 1988 Apr;72(4):309-12. doi: 10.1136/bjo.72.4.309.

Abstract

An immunological study of aqueous humour and serum was carried out in experimental ocular candidosis in rabbits. Anti-candida antibody titres, immunoglobulin G, and albumin levels were evaluated in the aqueous humour and in the serum. A local synthesis of anti-candida antibodies was detected in numerous rabbits at the height of clinical activity of the lesions.
