The cornea is avascular, meaning it does not have any blood vessels, and lacks antigen-presenting cells, such as dendritic cells, which helps to reduce the chances of rejection. Anterior-chamber-associated immune deviation (ACAID) is a mechanism that helps induce tolerance in the eye to prevent immune-mediated damage. The anterior chamber of the eye contains aqueous humor, which has immunosuppressive factors like TGF-β and IL-10 that can regulate the immune response by downregulating CD40 expression and inhibiting IL-12 secretion.
