Understanding Immune Privilege in the Eye
This chapter explores the concept of immune privilege in the eye, detailing how it can accept foreign grafts and the complexities of immune responses linked to ocular homeostasis. It highlights the role of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in managing immune responses, particularly in conditions like uveitis, and discusses the challenges of treatment given patient variability. The conversation further examines the implications of molecular mimicry and autoimmune mechanisms, alongside insights from mouse models to better understand human conditions.
