A better understanding of the ocular immune responses should help us determine the etiology and pathophysiology of many uveitides. Ocular immune "privilege" is the result of the interaction of factors such as the blood-ocular barrier, the absence of lymphatic vessels, the sequestration of retinal antigens, the presence of local immunomodulators in the aqueous humor, and anterior chamber-associated immune deviation (ACAID). The purpose of this review is to discuss some of the immunologic characteristics of the anterior chamber of the eye, their relation to intraocular inflammation and their systemic effects.
更好地理解眼部免疫反应应有助于我们确定许多葡萄膜炎的病因和病理生理学。眼部免疫“赦免”是多种因素相互作用的结果，如血眼屏障、淋巴管缺失、视网膜抗原的隔离、房水中局部免疫调节剂的存在以及前房相关免疫偏离（ACAID）。本综述的目的是讨论眼房的一些免疫学特征、它们与眼内炎症的关系及其全身影响。
