There is controversy regarding the origin of the pigment-containing epithelioid cells in the uvea of eyes with sympathetic ophthalmia. The results of the present immunocytochemical study demonstrating the presence of muramidase and S-100 protein in these cells, and the binding of peanut lectin by the pigment-containing cells support the interpretation that the pigment-containing epithelioid cells and giant cells are of monocytic (histiocytic) origin. Our study also emphasizes the diverse functional capacity of these epithelioid cells.
关于交感性眼炎患者眼葡萄膜中含色素上皮样细胞的起源存在争议。目前这项免疫细胞化学研究的结果显示这些细胞中存在溶菌酶和S-100蛋白，并且含色素细胞与花生凝集素结合，这支持了含色素上皮样细胞和巨细胞起源于单核细胞（组织细胞）的解释。我们的研究还强调了这些上皮样细胞具有多种功能。
