Lens-induced granulomatous endophthalmitis is an experimental disease that is virtually identical to the human disease known as phakoanaphylactic endophthalmitis. The disease appears to be an immune complex disease. The present study demonstrates that the lenses of animals previously sensitized to lens antigens bind IgG and complement as would be expected in immune complex disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
