| Research Abstract |
ICOS, OX40, and 4-1BB expression on CD4 T cells in various uveitiswas signigicant higher than that in healthy individuals. And, the expressin of costimulatory molecules was signigicantly lower than that in Behcet disease, sarcoidosis, and VKH disease before and after anti-TNFα mAb treatment and systemic corticosteroid therapy, respectively. After the isolated CD4 T cells and CD14 cells were stimulated with Con A, the effects of ICOS and OX40 that were overexpressed during active and remission phases on T cell proliferation was examined using inhibitory antibodies. The results showed that Th1 cytokines and Th17 cytokines were reduced.
