Mechanisms of immune regulation and transplantation immunity in corneal transplants

At the present time, corneal transplantation (keratoplasty) is one of the most frequent modes of solid tissue transplants in the world. Unlike other kinds of transplants, corneal grafting is often performed without tissue typing and systemic immunosuppression.High frequency of transparent corneal en...
