B7-H1-induced apoptosis as a mechanism of immune privilege of corneal allografts.
Junko Hori,M. Wang,Megumi Miyashita,Keiko Tanemoto,Hiroshi Takahashi,Toshitada Takemori,Ko Okumura,Hideo Yagita,Miyuki Azuma +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first demonstration that the constitutive expression of B7-H1 plays a critical role in corneal allograft survival by inducing apoptosis of effector T cells within the cornea.

Immunological characteristics of amniotic epithelium.
TL;DR: Results suggest that HAECs are a source of soluble anti-inflammatory factors that suppress corneal inflammation and use of AM from different donor placentas should be emphasized when repeated AM transplantation is required in patients clinically.

Topical application of culture supernatant from human amniotic epithelial cells suppresses inflammatory reactions in cornea
Kazutaka Kamiya,M. Wang,Saiko Uchida,Saiko Uchida,Shiro Amano,Tetsuro Oshika,Norio Sakuragawa,Junko Hori,Junko Hori +8 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that HAEC are a source of soluble anti-inflammatory factors and that conditioned medium from HAEC contains factors other than IL-1ra that suppress corneal inflammation.

GITR ligand-mediated local expansion of regulatory T cells and immune privilege of corneal allografts.
TL;DR: GITRL-dependent expansion of Treg within the cornea is one mechanism underlying immune privilege in corneal allografts.

Immunogenicity and Antigenicity of Allogeneic Amniotic Epithelial Transplants Grafted to the Cornea, Conjunctiva, and Anterior Chamber
TL;DR: Fresh allogeneic AE expressed immunogenicity when placed on the ocular surface, although no memory of allospecific DH was acquired, and allogeneIC AE is clearly vulnerable to immune rejection in specifically sensitized recipients.
