Experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) rodent models have been used extensively to study various aspects of uveitis, including the role of pro‐inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL‐1β),17 Th17 cells,6, 18 and NLRP3 activation19 in the development and proliferation of ocular inflammation in uveitis. This evidence concerns the gene IL1B and uveitis.
