Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells Express Antimicrobial Peptide Lysozyme – A Novel Mechanism of Innate Immune Defense of the Blood-Retina Barrier
PURPOSE: For this study we aimed to understand if retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells express antimicrobial peptide lysozyme as a mechanism to protect the neuroretina from blood-borne pathogens. METHODS: The expression of lysozyme in human and mouse RPE cells was examined by RT-PCR or immune (cyt...
