Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We tried to identify specific T cell clone for Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease to establish diagnostic method. We found a clone which was seen in peripheral blood of 13 out of 17 VKH cases, while the clone was not seen in uveitis other than VKH and VKH after treatment. Though we performed qPCR detecting this clone to establish diagnostic methods, we could not detect the clone in VKH which developed after 2011. (We reported this results in the 119th annual meeting of the Japanese Ophthalmological Society, 2015.)
