Experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU), one of the most commonly used uveitis models, was induced by active immunisation with the retinal protein interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein (IRBP) emulsified in complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA), which is a mixture of mineral oil, and heat-killed Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). The gene discussed is RBP3; the disease is uveitis.
