| Research Abstract |
A model of experimental autoimmune uveitis(EAU)in the mouse was established by an enhanced immunization(2-4 times injection at an interval of 2-4 weeks)with S-antigen or interphotoreceptor retinoid binding protein(IRBP)using Krebsielia lipopolysaccharide(K03 LPS)as an adjuvant. The incidence of EAU was tested in several strains of B10. BR, B10. A, B10. MBR, B10. A(4R)were found to be high responders to S-antigen-induced EAU as well as to IRBP-induced EAU. On the other hand, B10. A(5R)was non-responder to S-antigen-induced EAU and low-responder to IRBP-induced EAU. These data thus indicate that the susceptibilty to EAU in the mouse was restricted by the immune response genes(H-2), particulady by 1-A^k. The susceptibility to EAU in AKR/J was very low, although H-2 haplotype ws identical to B10. BR. Therefore, it is suggested that non-MHC genes also plays some minor role in EAU.
