AbstractUveitis describes a heterogeneous group of inflammatory eye diseases characterized by infiltration of leukocytes into the uveal tissues. HLA-B27-associated uveitis is a common subtype of uveitis and a prototypical ocular autoimmune disease. Local immune mechanisms driving human uveitis are poorly characterized mainly due to the limited available biomaterial and subsequent technical limitations.Here, we provide the first high-resolution characterization of intraocular leukocytes in HLA-B27 positive and negative anterior uveitis and an infectious endophthalmitis control by combining single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) with flow cytometry and low-input proteomics. Ocular cell infiltrates consisted primarily of lymphocytes in uveitis and of myeloid cells in infectious endophthalmitis. HLA-B27 positive uveitis exclusively featured an plasmacytoid and classical dendritic cells (cDC) infiltrate, and of plasma cells. Moreover, cDCs were central in predicted local cell-cell communication.The data suggests a unique pattern of ocular leukocyte infiltration in HLA-B27 positive uveitis with relevance of particular dendritic cells.

Langerhans cells of mammalian stratified squamous epithelial have proven to be an enigma since their discovery in 1868. These dendritic suprabasal cells have been considered as related to melanocytes either as effete cells, or as post divisional products. Although grafting experiments seemed to demonstrate the independence of the cell types, much confusion still exists. The presence in the epidermis of a cell type with morphological features seemingly shared by melanocytes and Langerhans cells has been especially troublesome. This so called "indeterminate", or " -dendritic cell" lacks both Langerhans cells granules and melanosomes, yet it is clearly not a keratinocyte. Suggestions have been made that it is related to either Langerhans cells or melanocyte. Recent studies have unequivocally demonstrated that Langerhans cells are independent cells with immune function. They display Fc and C3 receptors on their surface as well as la (immune region associated) antigens.
