ALTERED SUPPRESSOR-CELL ACTIVITIES IN UVEITIS

Abstract Suppressor-cell function was evaluated by two in-vitro assay systems in forty patients with intraocular inflammatory disease (uveitis) and in sixteen healthy age-matched controls. A concanavalin-A (Con A)-induced suppressor-cell assay showed that patients with posterior uveitic conditions had greater suppressor activity than did the anterior uveitic group or the control group (p
