  • Look Inside

We quantitated the plasma osteopontin levels in 11 cases of allergic conjunctivitis, 18 cases of vernal keratoconjunctivitis and 12 normal persons using an enzyme immunoassay kit. The ages averaged 32 years in allergic conjunctivitis, 16 years in vernal keratoconjunctivitis and 30 years in normal controls. Plasma osteopontin levels were significantly elevated in allergic conjunctivitis and vernal keratoconjunctivitis than in controls (p < 0.05) . There was no difference between allergic conjunctivitis and vernal keratoconjunctivitis. Osteopontin levels were significantly higher in 10 patients of vernal keratoconjunctivitis with atopic dermati-tis than in 8 patients without. The findings show that osteopontin, which is an acidic glycoprotein and is a ma-jor binding ligand for integrins on cellular adhesion, may be related with allergic conjunctival diseases.
