[Indication for and interpretation of immunohistological studies of the conjunctiva and cornea].
Various conjunctival and corneal biopsies of eyes with chronic inflammation of the outer segment (e.g., following chemical burns, chronic proliferative conjunctival alterations) were examined using monoclonal antibodies. Class II antibodies were found in both epithelial and stromal conjunctival cells, indicating that there may be some etiological significance to an autoimmune process in altered tissue.
