ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises and utilizes methods and compositions for treating hyperimmune reactions in the eye. Compositions comprising antibodies to gamma interferon alone and in combination with other drugs are described. Also disclosed in the invention are methods of applying a composition comprising interferon gamma antibodies topically to the eye to treat hyperimmune reactions, such as transplant rejection, autoimmune diseases of the eye, and ocular disorders incidental to or connected with autoimmune diseases.
