This study aims to clarify the immunogenicity in acquired and innate immune responses of cultured human corneal endothelial cells (hCECs) applied for cell injection therapy, a newly established modality for corneal endothelium failures. Thirty-four patients with corneal endothelial failure received injection of allogeneic hCEC suspension into anterior chamber. No sign of immunological rejection was observed in all 34 patients during the 5–8 years postoperative follow-up period. Cell injection therapy was successful in 2 patients treated for endothelial failure after penetrating keratoplasty and one patient with Descemet membrane stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty failure. ELISPOT assays performed in allo-mixed lymphocyte reaction to the alloantigen identical to that on the injected hCECs, elicited sparse IFN-γ-specific spots in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients who received hCEC injection. The therapy generated simple and smooth graft-host junctions without wound stress. The injection of C57BL/6 CECs into the anterior chamber of BALB/c mice, which rejected C57BL/6 corneas 6 weeks ago, induced no sign of inflammatory reactions after the second challenge of alloantigen. Collectively, injection of the hCEC cell suspension in the aqueous humor induces immune tolerance that contributes to the survival of the reconstituted endothelium.
