Three major lines of thought regarding the molecular mechanisms of immune privilege in the eye are as follows: (a) anatomical, cellular, and molecular barriers in the eye; (b) anterior chamber-associated immune deviation; and (c) immunosuppressive microenvironment in the eye. However, cornea transplants suffer allograft rejection when breached by vascularization. In recent developments, cellular corneal transplantation from cultivated limbal epithelial cells has shown impressive advances as a future therapy. The limbal stem cell niche contains stem cells that promote proliferation and migration and have immunosuppressive mechanisms to protect them from immunological reactions. Limbal stem cells are also noted to display an enhanced expression of genes for the antiapoptotic proteins, a property that is imperative for the survival of transplanted tissues. Further investigation of the molecular mechanisms regulating the immune regulation of limbal stem cells is relevant in the clinical setting to promote the survival of whole corneal and limbal stem cell transplantation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5966\/sctm.2012-0143","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,7,2]],"date-time":"2013-07-02T01:52:02Z","timestamp":1372729922000},"page":"614-624","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Concise Review: Immunological Properties of Ocular Surface and Importance of Limbal Stem Cells for Transplantation"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2","author":[{"given":"Bakiah","family":"Shaharuddin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Genetic Medicine, Newcastle University, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, United Kingdom"},{"name":"Advanced Medical and Dental Institute, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sajjad","family":"Ahmad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Eye and Vision Science, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Annette","family":"Meeson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Genetic Medicine, Newcastle University, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Simi","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Cellular Medicine, Newcastle University, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,7,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021122707373361600_ref1","first-page":"94","volume-title":"NHS Blood and Transplant.
