ASSESSMENT OF CELL IMMUNITY IN ACTIVE NON-INFECTIOUS UVEITE
This article presents an analysis of cellular immunity in active non-infectious uveitis and in a healthy control group. CD-typing of immune cells was carried out in patients with newly diagnosed acute and chronic uveitis of various etiology and localization. A decrease in T-lymphocytes (CD3+ CD56+) and natural killer cells (NK) (CD3- CD56+), a decrease in the number of B-lymphocytes (CD3- CD19+) with newly diagnosed uveitis, with an exacerbation of infl ammation, B-lymphocytes (CD3- CD19+) were either insignifi cant decreased, or comparable with the control group, an increase in the absolute and relative indicators of mature activated T-lymphocytes (CD3+ HLA-DR+) in patients with chronic uveitis. All patients showed an increase in the relative and absolute values of T-regulatory cells. The results obtained demonstrate the involvement of cellular immunity during the period of activity of non-infectious uveitis, in particular, the activation of the suppressor link (T-regulatory cells).
