Genetic control of susceptibility to experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis in the mouse model. Concomitant regulation by MHC and non-MHC genes
1992-04-01
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis (EAU) in animals is a T cell-mediated autoimmune response directed against cells of the neural retina, in particular the photoreceptors. EAU can be induced in susceptible strains of mice by immunization with purified retinal Ag, and serves as a model for human uveitis. Because strong HLA associations have been noted in a number of human uveitic diseases, we investigat...
