摘要：
Purpose The overproduction of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies is associated with vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC). CD23/CD21 and CD40/CD40 ligand (CD40L) interactions have been proposed to be involved in the regulation of IgE synthesis. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the presence and distribution of CD23, CD21, CD40 and CD40L in the conjunctiva from patients with active VKC.
