The present demonstration of T

endothelial cells in rejected corneal allografts in humans and rats respectively (5, 32).
In our study, CD8 − T
cells from CD4 KO rejector mice failed to display CTL or DTH activity, yet they were capable of inducing donor - specific
apoptosis of corneal

cells are able to induce significant
apoptosis of allogeneic corneal
endothelial cells.
The extensive
apoptosis of allogeneic corneal
