It is notable that while BM cells from WT EAU mice transferred uveitis to naive mice, IRBP-specific autoreactive memory T cells of CD4-STAT3KO mice could not traffic to the BM and BM cells from the IRBP-immunized CD4-STAT3KO mice could not transfer EAU upon reactivation (20). The gene discussed is RBP3; the disease is uveitis.
