Cytokine Profile in Aqueous Humor and Sera of Patients with Infectious or Noninfectious Uveitis

Abstract

IFN-gamma is the most abundant cytokine in infectious and noninfectious uveitis, with a remarkable difference between the two groups. The data suggest that cytokines in AqH of infectious uveitis are locally produced, whereas in noninfectious uveitis, IFN-gamma is produced both in the eye and the peripheral blood.
