Genetic susceptibility to experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis in the rat is associated with an elevated Th1 response
1 Sept 1996
Abstract excerpt
This study examines whether genetic susceptibility vs genetic resistance to experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis (EAU) are connected to a predisposition to mount a Th1-dominated (IFN-gamma high, IL-4 low) vs a Th2-dominated (IL-4 high, lFN-gamma low) response. Lewis rats developed disease with high incidence after immunization with the uveitogenic peptide R16, whereas F344 rats were resistant. Primed lymph node...
