| Summary: |
Investigations were
carried out to clarify the role of autoimmune phenomena
in the pathogenesis of human cataract. We determined the
antibodies to lens proteins of serum in the following
groups of patients: patients with senile cataract,
patients with diabetic cataract, patients with diabetes
mellitus, dependent of insulin and without cataract,
patients without cataract and without diabetes mellitus
(healthy adults) , using the plate gel with double
diffusion method described by Ouchterlony. 98% patients
with senile cataract, 100% patients with diabetic
cataract and only 12% healthy adults showed positive
reactions to the test. There is little evidence so far,
to incriminate immunological mechanisms in the
pathogenesis of cataract. |
