Abstract excerpt
Inhibiting TNF-alpha activity prevents tissue destruction without inhibiting retinal T cell infiltration in experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis (EAU) in Lewis rats. To further determine the role of TNF-alpha in autoimmune uveitis we characterized T cells isolated from retinae after treatment wi...
