Experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis (EAU) was induced in rats by immunization with bovine interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein (IRBP) and studied by immunohistochemistry. In general, the IRBP induction of inflammatory cellular components and expression of immune-related antigens on various non-lymphoid cells resembled those provoked by S-antigen (S-Ag). However, differences were found between the two diseases, including: 1) The increase in T suppressor/cytotoxic cells occurred in IRBP EAU more rapidly than in S-Ag EAU. 2) Fewer numbers of non-lymphoid cells expressed major histocompatibility complex class II surface antigens in IRBP EAU than in S-Ag EAU. The immunopathogenic mechanism of EAU induced by these two retinal antigens are discussed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010857 Pigment Epithelium of Eye The layer of pigment-containing epithelial cells in the RETINA; the CILIARY BODY; and the IRIS in the eye. Eye Pigment Epithelium
D012160 Retina The ten-layered nervous tissue membrane of the eye. It is continuous with the OPTIC NERVE and receives images of external objects and transmits visual impulses to the brain. Its outer surface is in contact with the CHOROID and the inner surface with the VITREOUS BODY. The outer-most layer is pigmented, whereas the inner nine layers are transparent. Ora Serrata
D002829 Choroid The thin, highly vascular membrane covering most of the posterior of the eye between the RETINA and SCLERA. Choriocapillaris,Haller Layer,Haller's Layer,Sattler Layer,Sattler's Layer,Choroids

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement.

D000949 Histocompatibility Antigens Class II Large, transmembrane, non-covalently linked glycoproteins (alpha and beta). Both chains can be polymorphic although there is more structural variation in the beta chains. The class II antigens in humans are called HLA-D ANTIGENS and are coded by a gene on chromosome 6. In mice, two genes named IA and IE on chromosome 17 code for the H-2 antigens. The antigens are found on B-lymphocytes, macrophages, epidermal cells, and sperm and are thought to mediate the competence of and cellular cooperation in the immune response. The term IA antigens used to refer only to the proteins encoded by the IA genes in the mouse, but is now used as a generic term for any class II histocompatibility antigen.
