In ocular toxoplasmosis, the involvement of the eye and inadequate autoimmune responses of memory cells to retina antigens in the blood have been reported previously,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib10">10,14</a> but few studies have reported a high frequency of retina autoantibodies titers in this condition.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib15">15,16</a> Furthermore, another group detected robust levels of cellular responses against retina antigens in the blood of ocular toxoplasmosis patients<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib10">10</a>.

Using the cut-off obtained from the uveitis patients, the frequency of samples that were positive for S-antigen among the anti-<span class="elsevierStyleItalic">T. gondii</span>-IgG-positive patients (116/250) was found to be similar to that in the samples (99/250) from the group without <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">T. gondii</span> contact.</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig2-cln_65p1027"></elsevierMultimedia></span><span id="cesec110" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="cestitle160">IRBP ELISA</span><p id="para130" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Antibodies against bovine IRBP antigen were also tested using the low-protein ELISA, and the results are shown in <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig3-cln_65p1027">Figure 3</a>.

This result was observed for each of the three antigens used in the solid-phase ELISA, but the best discrimination was obtained using our human whole human retina extract. The extract from the human retinas comprised several proteins, and the method used to extract the proteins yielded more antigens than did techniques employing non-denaturing saline or detergent solutions as described elsewhere.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib20">20</a> We had previously performed a WHRE ELISA that demonstrated a higher reactivity and thresholds in the reaction, which impeded the qualitative analysis; the addition of urea to the dilution buffer eliminated the non-specific binding and provided a clear qualitative discrimination of uveitis patients(data not shown). The urea-containing sample buffer used for SDS-PAGE allowed the extraction of hydrophobic domains of the membrane proteins that are highly prevalent in the retina, which is composed of several membrane-associated proteins.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib21">21</a> This method of extract preparation results in a more sensitive antibody detection in comparison to the use of the less reactive purified retina antigens, such as S-antigen and IRBP, which are usually of a bovine origin. These findings have been described previously in a study that found that the purified antigens provided less significant results than did the whole retina in an intact retina immunofluorescence assay.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib16">16</a> In the present study, the use of IRBP as an ELISA antigen demonstrated the least efficiency for anti-retina antibody detection despite the demonstration of definitive results for the mean sample reactivity in uveitis patients compared to the asymptomatic population. This test also revealed a higher mean reactivity for samples from <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Toxoplasma</span>-infected asymptomatic individuals than for those from the non-infected asymptomatic population; however, the individual discrimination was poor due to the large numbers of reactive samples. The S-antigen ELISA demonstrated similar results with clear differences in the mean values of antibody levels and a good discrimination of the presence of uveitis; however, the qualitative results were poor. These data demonstrate that purified antigens may be less efficient in comparison to the whole extract for determination of the type of retina involvement, as described previously.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib22">22</a></p><p id="para150" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Several isolated antigens have been proposed for as targets of autoimmune eye disease and some of them were associated to the specific disease.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib23">23</a> Our results demonstrating a higher resolution for the whole retina extract suggest that exposure to a variety of <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">T. gondii</span> antibodies may affect the whole retina through a large spectrum of antigens instead of a specific antigen, which is observed with other diseases, such as viral<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib24">24</a> or degenerative diseases.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib25">25</a> In qualitative studies of autoantibodies against the retina using ELISA, the main challenge is the determination of threshold values. In the current study, an unusual approach was used. The samples from uveitis patients served as positive controls for all of the tested antigens, and inflammation was assumed to result in a humoral response. Based on these criteria, our WHRE ELISA revealed a few responders in the asymptomatic population, which permitted its use as a screening tool. A similar result was not obtained using specific antigens, such as S-antigen or IRBP, which demonstrated higher proportions of positive samples in the asymptomatic population.</p><p id="para160" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The mechanism responsible for the induction of anti-retina antibodies is controversial because the eye is a specialized compartment with respect to the immune response. The eye is considered a sanctuary compartment in which antigens evade immune detection and clonal selection until the protective eye barriers are impaired<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib26">26</a> No lymphatic drainage occurs in the intraocular compartment, which appears to function similarly to immunologically privileged biological sites, and therefore, an alteration of immune function and antigen presentation are observed.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib27">27</a> This phenomenon is sustained in sympathetic ophthalmia, in which the traumatic exposure of intraocular components to the immune response may lead to intraocular inflammation in the non-affected healthy eye.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib4">4</a> Other examples of autoimmune eye disease included tissue-specific diseases, such as VKH,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib28">28</a> or systemic autoimmune diseases, such as Behcet's disease and systemic lupus erithemathosus.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib30">30</a></p><p id="para170" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">During the first episode of intraocular inflammation caused by <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">T. gondii</span>, retina antigens are exposed to the immune response, which leads to the selection of antigen-specific reactive memory cells both for humoral or cell mediated immunity. Cyst reactivation or re-infection of the eye could establish secondary anamnestic and granulomatous responses, which are typical of the adaptive immune response. This process has been reported using cell proliferation assays to assess cellular immunity to eye self-antigens, and the results demonstrated a weak cellular response to uncontrolled disease.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib30">30</a></p><p id="para180" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The sera of uveitis patients demonstrated higher levels of anti-retina autoantibodies, regardless of the etiology. Our screening analysis also revealed higher levels of those antibodies in samples from the asymptomatic populations that demonstrated a high titer of anti-retina specific antibodies, and these results could imply the presence of a retinal disease. This association highlights the importance of the use of serological surveys to detect anti-retina antibodies in patients as a screening tool for ophthalmologic consultations, the selection of patients for follow-up, and early diagnosis and treatment, especially in patients with serologies that are positive for <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Toxoplasma</span>. Our data strongly suggest that the immune damage caused by <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Toxoplasma</span> invasion of the retina results in uveitis both by a direct mechanism and by retina antigen exposure, as determined by the humoral immune host response against retina antigens.</p></span></span>" "textoCompletoSecciones" => array:1 [ "secciones" => array:7 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1581288" "titulo" => "KEYWORDS" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "cesec10" "titulo" => "INTRODUCTION" ] 2 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "cesec20" "titulo" => "MATERIALS AND METHODS" "secciones" => array:4 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "cesec30" "titulo" => "Serum samples" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "cesec40" "titulo" => "Retina antigens" ] 2 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "cesec50" "titulo" => "ELISA assays" ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "cesec60" "titulo" => "Statistical analysis" ] ] ] 3 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "cesec70" "titulo" => "RESULTS" "secciones" => array:4 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "cesec80" "titulo" => "Optimized ELISA for the detection of human anti-retina IgG" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "cesec90" "titulo" => "WHRE ELISA" ] 2 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "cesec100" "titulo" => "S-antigen ELISA" ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "cesec110" "titulo" => "IRBP ELISA" ] ] ] 4 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "cesec120" "titulo" => "DISCUSSION" ] 5 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xack638826" "titulo" => "ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS" ] 6 => array:1 [ "titulo" => "REFERENCES" ] ] ] "pdfFichero" => "main.pdf" "tienePdf" => true "fechaRecibido" => "2010-09-09" "fechaAceptado" => "2010-09-16" "PalabrasClave" => array:1 [ "en" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "clase" => "keyword" "titulo" => "KEYWORDS" "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1581288" "palabras" => array:5 [ 0 => "Retina" 1 => "Uveitis" 2 => "Toxoplasmosis" 3 => "Autoantibodies" 4 => "ELISA" ] ] ] ] "tieneResumen" => true "resumen" => array:1 [ "en" => array:2 [ "resumen" => "<span id="ceabs10" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="cestitle10">PURPOSE:</span><p id="spara40" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">To search for anti-retina antibodies that serve as markers for eye disease in uveitis.</p></span> <span id="ceabs20" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="cestitle20">MATERIALS AND METHODS:</span><p id="spara50" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">Stored sera from patients with uveitis, ocular toxoplasmosis (n = 30) and non-infectious, immune-mediated uveitis (n = 50) and from asymptomatic individuals who were positive (n = 250) and negative (n = 250) for anti-<span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Toxoplasma</span> antibodies were tested.
