PG  - 89-100
AB  - The relatively simple and precise technique of direct immunofluorescence on a 
      tissue section enables the study and enumeration of all types of plasma cells 
      including mastocytes (stained with acridine orange) in normal conjunctiva (5 
      cases), chronic non-allergic conjunctivitis (5 cases), allergic conjunctivitis of 
      the educt (11 cases) and vernal conjunctivitis (11 cases). There is evidence of 
      elevation of IgE plasma cells in type I allergic conjunctivitis where they are 
      twice as raised as in non-allergic cases in adult forms, and three times more 
      elevated in vernal conjunctivitis. There was no correlation between the number of 
      IgE plasma cells in the tissues and IgE level in sera. Thus in air-borne 
      conjunctival allergies local hypersensitivity seems to be the predominant, even 
      exclusive, feature.
