Co-culture of rat retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells or retinal capillary endothelial (EC) cells with T lymphocytes from immunised syngeneic rats indicated that RPE cells but not EC could process retinal S-antigen and induce antigen specific T cell activation. Activation of lymphocytes by EC however was also antigen independent, and may be due to T cell (CD2) endothelial cell (LFA-3) ligand interactions which are functional on EC but not RPE.
将大鼠视网膜色素上皮(RPE)细胞或视网膜毛细血管内皮(EC)细胞与来自免疫的同基因大鼠的T淋巴细胞共培养,结果表明RPE细胞而非EC细胞能够处理视网膜S抗原并诱导抗原特异性T细胞活化。然而,EC对淋巴细胞的激活也是抗原非依赖性的,这可能是由于T细胞(CD2)与内皮细胞(LFA-3)的配体相互作用,这种相互作用在EC细胞上起作用,而在RPE细胞上不起作用。
