Furthermore, using a rodent experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) Yang et. al. reported that expression of MIF and its receptors CD44 and CD74 was increased in inner layers of retina, moreover, upon the delivery of a MIF-overexpressing adenoviral vector an exaggerated EAU was observed, which was reverted when MIF was inhibited by intraperitoneal (ip). This evidence concerns the gene MIF and autoimmune uveitis.
