The presence of biologically significant concentrations of glucocorticoids but little or no cortisol binding globulin within aqueous humor: relevance to immune privilege in the anterior chamber of the eye.

Abstract

These results show that AH contains biologically relevant concentrations of glucocorticoids and that CBG is relatively absent so that glucocorticoids present are largely free, and they suggest that regional sites take advantage of the activities of multiple factors to maintain an immune-privileged status.
