The most frequent cause of human corneal transplant failure is immunologic rejection. Surface antigenic determinants on nucleated cells are thought to prime the host's immune system for rejection. Greater than 90% of the nucleated cells of the cornea reside in the epithelium; therefore, one might expect that host sensitization and ...
