Gammaglobulins and immunocomplexes in aqueous humor and serum of patients with senile cataract

Metab Pediatr Syst Ophthalmol (1985). 1985;8(4):154-7.

Abstract

The authors have measured the gammaglobulins and the immunocomplex levels (CIC) in aqueous humor and serum of 14 patients (3 males and 11 females) over 50 years old, who were affected by different types of cataract. Even if the authors have examined a limited number of samples, the results confirm the previous data which also showed very low levels of IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE, CIC in aqueous humor.
