MECHANISMS OF RECURRENCE OF ANTERIOR UVEITIS OF THE EYE

描述（改编自申请人摘要）：本提案是一项 多学科的方法来检查假设，初始Au 改变了BAB的渗透性，建立了复发的阶段。 的基础 本申请将评估BAB的紧密连接 在玻璃体内注射内毒素之后。 申请人将 观察睫状上皮和虹膜血管中的BAB修复 在几个层面上的内皮细胞。 申请人过去在这些方面的经验 技术，包括体内水性荧光光度法和示踪剂 EM定位，蛋白质动力学的计算建模， 相关分子探针的共聚焦和电子显微镜定位 连接重组 还将进行冷冻断裂。 的 最后一个具体目标是使用高分辨率合同MRI来确定 是否存在正常人的前扩散通路。

DESCRIPTION (Adapted from applicant's abstract): This proposal is a multidisciplinary approach to examine the hypothesis that the initial AU alters the BAB permeability, setting up stages for recurrence. The basis of this application will be to evaluate the tight junctions of the BAB following an intravitreal injection of endotoxin. The applicant will then look at the BAB repair in both the ciliary epithelium and iris vascular endothelium at several levels. The applicant has past experience with these techniques, including in vivo aqueous fluorophotometry and tracer localization with EM, computational modeling of the protein kinetics and confocal and electron microscopy localization of molecular probes relevant to the junctional reassembly. Freeze fracture will also be conducted. The last specific aim will be to use high resolution contract MRI to determine if anterior diffusion pathways exists in normal humans.
