| Research Abstract |
To elucidate the pathogenesis of herpetic keratitis, microarray analyses were preformed using HSV-1-infected immortalized corneal epithelial and endothelial cells. Among various molecules related with HSV infection, the roles of IL-6 and VEGF in the epithelial cells and toll-like receptor 9(TLR9) and indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase 1(IDO1) in the endothelial cells were analyzed. Especially it was found that corneal endothelial cells can induce HSV-1-speficic regulatory T cells via these molecules.
