Table 1 Factors associated with innate immunity and triggering into adaptive immunity
From: Wakayama symposium: interface between innate and adaptive immunity in dry eye disease
Innate defences | blinking, tear film, epithelium, secretory proteins, mucin, Langerhans cell, extracellular DNA, neutophil extracellular trap |
Trigger | T-cell activation, proinflammatory cytokines, genetic polymorphisms, inappropriate control of acute inflammation, homeostasis break |
