The results indicated that CD8 − T cells induced significant, albeit weak, apoptosis of allogeneic corneal epithelial cells (Figure 5A).
Rejection by CD8 + T cells does not appear to involve either allospecific CTL or DTH effector mechanisms; however, CD8 + T cells are able to induce significant apoptosis of allogeneic corneal endothelial cells.
The present demonstration of T cell - mediated apoptosis of allogeneic corneal cells from CD4 KO mice is consistent with previous findings, which noted the presence of apoptotic keratocytes and corneal endothelial cells in rejected corneal allografts in humans and rats respectively (5, 32).
