Objective To evaluate the expression of Fas/FasL antigen on peripheral blood T lymphocytes and its possible role in Behcet disease. Methods The expression of Fas and FasL antigen on peripheral blood T lymphocytes was determined by flow cytometry and three-colour double marked immunofluorescence methods in 26 patients with Behcet disease and 43 healthy individuals. Results The difference was significant between Behcet disease (25.70%±7.32%) and controls (14.02%±6.30%) concerning the Fas expression on CD4+ T lymphocytes(P<0.01) . But no difference was found concerning the expression of FasL antigen between Behcet disease and controls (P>0.05).The expression of Fas antigen on CD8+ T lymphocytes from Behcet disease (9.47%±6.97%)was significantly higher than that in control group(3.47%±2.75%), but no difference was found concerning FasL antigen expression on CD8+ T lymphocytes between Behcet disease and controls(P>0.05).Conclusion These results indicate the imbalance of the expression of Fas and FasL on T lymphocytes in Behcet disease is responsible for the perpetuation and recurrence of Behcet disease for the activated lymphocytes would not be eliminated through apoptosis mediated by Fas/FasL system.

Objective To prevent the after cataract induced by lens epithelial cells proliferation from postoperative cataract, monoclonal antibody (McAb) specific for rabbit lens epithelial cell is made, it will be the carrier further to be conjugated with cytotoxin. The conjugations will inhibit lens epithelial cells growth and not damage the other tissues of eye. Thereby McAb is the experimental bases of preventing after cataract.Methods BALB/c mice were immunized by mixture of rabbit lens epithelial cells and Freund's adjuant. The immunized mouse spleen cells were fused with parental mouse myeloma cells (BALB/c SP2/0) using polyethylene glycol (PEG-4000). The fused cells were selectively cultured by hypoxanthine, aminopterin and thymidine (HAT) culture medium. The specificities of the supernatant from hybridomas were tested by indirect immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry SP (Streptavidin peroxdase conjugated method). The positive hybridomas were further cloned three times by methylcellulose culture medium to ensure monoclonality. At last, the consensual reaction of McAb was tested on human eye tissues.Results Hybridomas were produced by fusion of spleen cells of immunized mice and mouse myoloma cells (SP2/0) with PEG-4000, and grown selectively in medium containing HAT after 16 days. Antibodies of the supernatant from hybridomas were tested on frozen sections of rabbit lens epithelial cell by indirect immunofluorescence. Only a positive clone secreted McAb against antigen of rabbit lens epithelial cell. The specificity of McAb was tested on paraffin sections of whole rabbit eye and whole human eye by immunohistochemistry SP. The results indicated that McAb was only positive to rabbit lens epithelial cell membrane and it was negative to the other tissues of rabbit or whole human eye tissues.Conclusions McAb specific for rabbit lens epithelial cell was manufactured successfully. The specificity of McAb was strong. There was no consensual reaction on human eye tissues. It might be the experimental bases of further targeting chemotherapy on after cataract.
