MYD88 and uveitis: The importance of DAMPs in T cell-mediated uveitis was identified as a result of our observation that in the chronic uveitis mouse model induced by transfer of IRBP-specific T cells (tEAU), a model induced without the use of microbial products and resembling human chronic uveitis, mice lacking MyD88 (MyD88−/−) are completely resistant to induction of tEAU [13].
